Antiwork

So long story short I work in marketing and in November last year I took a week off on mental health leave cause ya know depression and stuff (btw I’m in Australia so that makes a difference in terms of our sick leave and such) Anyway ever since then I’ve been taken off some accounts, given intern level tasks like spending all day taking screenshots and changing fonts and all in all my workload has decreased significantly when my colleagues are drowning under their workload. I’ve asked plenty of times for more work but they seem to be hesitant in giving it to me, just giving me enough to make my timesheets. So like are they trying to make me leave without firing me because they know that they’ll be in the wrong if they do or am I just losing my mind

I work in a call center job, DirecTV specifically, and it has been stressful. Not the job itself but the situation. For the first 2 years it was fine. After that I found out I was diagnosed with Mytochondrial Myopathy which took me years to get a diagnosis to actually show something was wrong. After my first 2 years I got FMLA and it was great. Took the days off I needed to and it was all fine. This was back in 2020. Jump to now in 2022 and for the past year and a half FMLA keeps rejecting paperwork that worked before. I have called them asking how it should be filled out to make sure I get my approved days off and not have to visit my doctor every month to update fmla on specific dates. Every single time I call them they give me a different answer…

I learned this week that about ten percent of the roles in the organization that employs me are open reqs right now. Is this typical? What are y'all seeing?
