I have been feeling very demotivated and all my recent efforts of staying motivated at work are not paying off....This is affecting me mentally....and is a major cause of stress. What are some good ways of taking a break while still being in status? When I say a break, I mean at least a month. I don’t have as much PTO.
Talk to ur manager abt Leave without pay, I took 2mo for family reasons
Not sure at apple but some bay area cos have unlimited PTO. I recently a took a month and a half off. Having an understanding manager helps a lot!
You can consider unpaid leave. Some companies allow their employees to take up to a few months to resolve personal issues.
Thanks for the advice. I think with our small team size it’s going to be difficult to just work out with manager for unpaid leave. I will try though.
Short term disability
short-term disability doesn’t offer any direct job protection though....is that right?
Well it’s there fir a reason. Wat if u are involved in an accident and have to take short term disability . Lot of companies now a days consider mental health issues on par with physical injuries so I would say go for it as you would still get paid at lesser percentage and even be eligible for mental care
