Is money the main (only) issue? Are there benefits to the medical "leave" / withdrawal besides not having to pay money?
|
Not really. the leave would be consistent with my absences until now. it would look better, esp given the certification this time.
if i knew or thought a clean quit would save me money i'd do it consistency or not. it's more likely the health leave will save me money, but worst case cost won't be worse than a clean quit. i feel better about the health leave based on what my doctors are saying. and also due to the whole consistency thing. flipside, is i don't like the feeling tied... having to report... rrrrghhh.
either route is a gamble moneywise. i haven't decided which to take yet. various things could happen (i don't know and can't handle finding out all the legal nooks and crannies):
medical leave + they drop me:
i wouldn't owe anything.
medical leave + they don't drop me + i quit:
i would owe 1 and 1/2 months pay (= net pay received, plus the taxes they paid the state.)
clean quit as of Sept 1, could go 2 ways:
1. IF he has a legal obligation to pay august - most likely so.
i would owe 1 and 1/2 month's pay (break down as before). i know that for hired workers it is done this way, however that is a different type of contract and it may be more clearly specified.
2. IF he has the option not to pay out august:
i wouldn't owe anything.
there may be other "solutions" i haven't thought of.

I want you to remind yourself that you have done very well surviving those work place environments. You are at a different place than you were a year ago.

yeah... probably. but i am still very holed up at the moment. can't take stimuli. not only. while i was much more apathetic before, now, (i can't believe this) i am seeing activation again - in a bad way. hypersensitive. nervous energy, rabid dreams, lability. not a good place, albeit different.

If two MDs are telling you that you can't do the job at this moment in time, doesn't that take some of the pressure off your need to make decisions? They are taking some of the pressure off your trying to think this through . . I would think.

well yes - and guilt/sense of honesty dealy.
i think i am going to take some lorazepam now. i was reluctant but pdoc says if i want to take it daily for a while it's ok. i didn't want to get addicted. it's almost as bad as Xanax if you consider the dosage. maybe i'll try just taking half.
