I am at my wits end

I’ve been working at a factory job for the past 14 months. 7 of those months I worked in the company but was under a staffing agency and had to wait 6 months for company to consider me as a permanent employee and a month long hiring process. I have been working the rest of the 7 months explicitly through the company. During my employment, I have been getting violently ill to the point I have to leave early or too weak enough to get out of bed. I try my best to work even if I am violently ill.

I’ve been working at a factory job for the past 14 months. 7 of those months I worked in the company but was under a staffing agency and had to wait 6 months for company to consider me as a permanent employee and a month long hiring process. I have been working the rest of the 7 months explicitly through the company. During my employment, I have been getting violently ill to the point I have to leave early or too weak enough to get out of bed. I try my best to work even if I am violently ill. I was sick with COVID and worked the entirety of it except for one day. All of my personal time and vacation time was devoted to me being sick. I’ve been written up for being sick too many times and now I am on probation, which I understand. My boss recommended I sign up for FMLA so my probation will be null and void on the account of my poor health. I come to the realization that I do not qualify for FMLA because I did not work under the company for a full year. Even though I have been working there for a year and two months. I feel like my time with this company is running out and I physically and mentally cannot take another week in this place.
