Postmanloverr seems to be a bit skeptical in your report of being ill.
I am sorry that you are feeling sad and that you are reporting that you have a serious illness. I don't know if you work in the USA, but there are laws to protect you. Such as if you have worked at your place of business for more then a year then you should be protected and you can use Family Sick Leave for upto 12 weeks with 60% of your pay. This is only good after you use up all your sick/vacation time.
Also you could file a complaint with your HR person about your boss.
You could also contact the labor board because if you are diagnosed with a mental illness then some of them are protected under the disabilty act. You just have to inform your HR department that you have a disability.
Good luck and I hope things get better for you.
Family medical leave act (FMLA) does not guarantee you 60% pay. It is a without pay leave by law. A particular company may institute a 60% pay during leave on their own, you may also have employer provided sick time that you can use while on family medical leave, but the law guarantees no pay. All it guarantees is you can't be fired while on the leave.
You can get FMLA approved on an intermittent basis for illnesses that are chronic with reoccurrences at any time. Doing so would allow you to call out sick as often as you want, as well as come in late or leave early, so long as you don't exceed 12 months worth of time in a year, with pretty much no reprecussions. It would be wise for the OP to apply for FMLA in that form, assuming the OP meets the one year full time qualification.
yeah ssory I assumbed he meant he just had deprression, and i didnt meant to be rude just it didn't make sense to me, didnt see the part about chronic illness, still a little skeptical because the boss seems like hes shouldn't be a boss unles he was just making a bad joke.but i agree with all this what you said
Boss told me if I don't smile more, I'm out...IIN?
