WOW!-this thread was made for me!! I too suffer from short term job performance ( my own definition!) I usually last 1 1/2 years. I do AWESOME-great reviews, pick up extra shifts....and then it happens, can't face another day, cry in the shower before work, pout, kick stuff, or simply refuse to leave the bed. I WANT TO WORK!! It keeps me from living in the dark zone of depression. However, my employers never return my loyalty( I get along great w/immediate supervisors, but not upper management?). 1 point over attendance max and BAM, no more job. What sucks the most is that I'm always super close to points falling off and everything being ok. I wish I could find a job that reduces points for working extra shifts or short notice shifts. I've only known one place and I don't live in that state anymore. I too was wondering about disability, but not the kind you don't have to work, but the kind where your employer has to accommodate your disability? I think that's a type? If anyone knows anything about that PLEASE for the love of God shout out to me! Lmciyah- know that you are not alone in short term job performance! I have held over 70 jobs in my lifetime! NO, unfortunately that is not an exaggeration, I started a very depressing list showcasing this fact a few years ago. Keep up the good fight!
