I figured I'd return to work at least for the remainder of the WFH set up, but not for when we return to the office.

I JUST GOT GRILLED FROM HR ABOUT MY SICK LEAVE AFTER MY DAD DIED.

Instead of being welcomed back with open arms, I was interrogated about the validity of my

tragedy and depression and pushed away. I was threatened that I may not have job protection because I took it through the government (shouldn't HR be aware that is in fact job protected leave? Up to 15 weeks? How did they not know that???)

What. The. Fuck.

I am so upset. I shouldn't have to be fucking dealing with this right now. Or ever. I hope they don't do this with everyone.

Like, caregiving is exhausting. Grief is exhausting. I've been ill for some time now dealing with all of this shit. I took 3 weeks to try to heal. And I'm being FUCKING INTERROGATED?!?!?!

"Wellll, we would have expected you to return sooner..."

But the company puts us through these mental health programs all the time... there are posters up everywhere about it... put out by HR.

What an effing joke. Like I feel sick that I even had to deal with this.

And then they had no idea what documentation they needed from me? I suggested a doctor's note.... which I have.

MY INNER KAREN IS FUMING SORRY NOT SORRY

Like, okay, see you never then I guess?

Like, oh yeah I tried my best to get some sense of "normalcy" back in my life but HR didn't believe that I was ill and made me feel threatened and uncomfortable and now if I don't feel good being at back at work, who am I even supposed to talk to???
