I am going on leave because I just can't concentrate and my manager is being really nitpicky. The stress at this job is too much. I hope I don't get fired because of the metrics being so ridiculous.

As soon as you return it's very likely you'll be let go. It's one thing to go on leave for pregnancy, surgery, detox, etc., but if you go because you're stressed then frankly you need a new job for your own good.
Taking leave is a huge stress on your peers/team. If you're that stressed it's likely you're already not viewed as a top performer. Your leader will be done with it.
it will be a while, but you will be let go. if you can't handle the job then it's time to go and don't put your team through your anxiety. i was a leader at centene for a long time. the extra sensitive and needy ones are a LOT of work and it's exhausting. find a career that works for you - please. i would always find a way to get rid of these folks that "needed a break" from work - going on leave. bye....sorry #truth
@aw one of my coworkers was let go while on medical leave (e.g., pregancy and another ortho surgery). @#$%
My boss totally ignores me. I don't have consist work. There are days that i have nothing to do. I know my coworkers are asking for work too.
I have also considered leave, I am stressed and exhausted, my BP has been elevated not to mentioned depressed. Do you mind me asking health DX providers are using for leave bc this does effect your health. Or does any have a suggestion on how to discuss this with your doctor.
@aw I’m recently off leave. It is against the law to fire someone on leave.
Several people I know was let go while on leave. I assumed that was against the law but they were impacted by ISP while on leave.
