Long story short, Iām heart broken. I called out of work once after not eating or sleeping for 2 days and I was treated like shit bc of it. Itās killing me to not cry less than half time Iām at work. My empathy is low. A few pts have realized something was wrong but like itās not fair to them for me to just mentally not be there. Iām a traveler and the one day I called our ever, they sent my company a message saying it was unacceptable to call out for āpersonal reasons.ā I canāt just quit bc I need the money but fuck Iām hurting and I just want to be home.
Right to work is not the same as At-will employment just as a heads up. Youāre describing at-will employment meaning either party can terminate employment without cause or reason. However, you may look into FMLA. If you can get a doctor to fill out the paperwork for a medical condition (even depression for example based on what youāre describing) you become legally protected to use unpaid leave as needed either scattered throughout the year or in a chunk and itās a specific number of days per year that is significant. It also makes it harder for them to terminate your employment at all because of fear of being sued for retaliation. Something to look into.

I chose the latter
