- 12Should I take medical leave for my mental health?Deciding to take medical leave brings heavy guilt over leaving students or coworkers behind to deal with the coverage gap. However, those who follow through with treatments like FMLA find it worthwhile and do not regret prioritizing their health.
- 10How to catch up on work after extended leaveReturning from extended leave dumps hundreds of unread emails and chaotic backlogs onto your plate, leaving you feeling completely clueless and overwhelmed. This severe disruption makes it extremely difficult to regain control, dragging out the stress and struggle long after you return.
- 5What to say when taking a sick day?You generally do not need to provide a detailed explanation; simply stating you are sick and will be absent is enough.
