Thanks - yeah, I’ve got to figure out something, but FMLA is AIR w/o pay & I just can’t financially swing that

Can you apply for leave assistance? Feels like this is exactly what FMLA, extended leave, and leave sharing is made for. I would give you time if I still was in.
I hope he settles soon and they can figure out what is going on.

I’ve taken a lot of FMLA. It protects your job. It doesn’t guarantee any sort of pay. Once your vacation time or paid time off runs out, you’re on your own.

Lesson: we need more than medicare for all. We also need social services and laws that help people when they can’t work. FMLA was a start but doesn’t guarantee salary.

I hate to beg, but I really need help. I'm due for top surgery next Friday & my job is doing everything in their power to prevent me. I've been denied FMLA twice despite a therapist's letter, surgeon's letter & insurance saying it's medically necessary. +

I once qualified for fmla and turned it down. My donations currently go to the poor and struggling waitresses I encounter in my travels. I met one who just pulled her daughters car out of a ditch because it had bald tires. I left a meaningful start to getting new tires on her daughters car.

Just went to message my doctor through MyChart to send her my FMLA form. I used to be able to message anyone on my care team but now I’m routed through *2 separate AI bot chats* before I could contact my doctor.… I am sick and tired of AI.

Add keeping your job to the list of worries. I was fired for “no cause” immediately after taking a few days off to care for my sick mom, then kid. I was getting FMLA paperwork submitted. They did it before I could. They eventually paid a BIG settlement.
