I'm out on sick leave from my job and was supposed to return this month. Instead I got into long drawn out meetings battling HR for ADA accommodations. Nothing positive was accomplished and now I'm depressed again. I'm requesting a transfer, but HR is fighting it (not my work unit.) I have a job at a huge place, quasi government, so they can transfer me. They are just being miserable, like usual.

I'm starting to think I want to extend my leave. Their policy gives me quite a bit of time, at least another 6 months. I have private LTD as well, but I've heard horror stories about getting claims through. Anyone have experience?

I can't force them to transfer me, but that would make the most sense.

I hate my workplace sooooooo much. However, the benefits really don't get any better. I would be foolish to ditch this. But it feels like a prison sentence and I have 16 more years!
