I return to work today. I am nervous and scared. I have not had to concentrate for 8 hours straight in over a month. They did agree to give me less stressful work for a while. My CEO said she will give me a month, and then at that point she will reassess whether I am a good fit for the job. She could let me go at that point. I am not protected because my doctor's note said nothing about still being symptomatic. I am somewhat symptomatic..... but I can concentrate on tasks and I can get tasks done.
I've already applied for different roles in the last week. I've determined (already) that I don't think this job is the best match for me so I'm looking elsewhere and at different types of positions than the one I've had over recent years. I would like to do more copywriting/copyediting, so I am looking at positions that emphasize these skills.
My husband is also nervous about me potentially being unemployed. And I get it, I would be nervous too if I were him.
