I am at my second employer I know of that uses Sedwick and I'm going to have to file documents for leave after last year's trauma of filing for pregnancy leave.
This time it's because I'm getting a tubal ligation ( because there's no way in fuck I'm not getting sterilized in a state that hates women) and I also found out I have a tumor in my spine and it's causing alot of problems.
I guess I find it scary because sure I have my tubal lined up and need at most 4 weeks ( it would be unpaid since I have no short term disability), and when I know I start treatment for the spinal ( which either way, will cripple me or could prevent me from working), is there a chance where I will be suggested to leave my job all together. My coworkers are so nice and since finding a decent work environment for me has been hard in the past, it kills me to think about this.
Also while I was pregnant, Sedwick constantly would fuck up my paperwork to the point my husband actually accused them of sexism. And it happened enough times in the course of 4 months I even cried.
I'm scared of the idea of applying for disability if and when that times comes because there was a time I tried to apply and like other assistance programs out there, I'd be given trouble to the point I'd just give up because it would just cause too much inner turmoil.
