It is CRAZY what they get away with!!! Really wrong
We have a small corp, my office manager came to me recently asking for Tuesday afternoons off - after 3pm so she could go to therapy. She said she tried hard for another time, i shushed her and said Of Course!!! She is on salary and making up the hours at other times.
Then the other day she asked me to talk privately, she said she knows her stress doesn't match mine, being that if we went out of business I lose everything, she just loses her job, but with the business troubles she's been on verge of a breakdown. She loves her job and our company and has been so scared. Her T wants her to try a depression med. I didnt share my dx, but let her know a little about meds, that i've tried some depression meds this and that, they can sometimes help, and that I support her which ever she chooses, and I'm open to talk to her anytime. She was so thankful and it was a really good feeling. She then texted me how much her therapist is helping her with a smiley.
If you have the energy, don't let them get away with doing this to you - it's so unethical and illegal (I think).
