I have been working at the same company for eighteen months. It is a fast paced customer service position that does collections.
For the last 10 months I have been battling fatigue and cognition issues. I have good days and not so good days.
A month ago, my boss called me in the office and told me If I did not hit goal this month I was most likely a goner by the middle of Jan. The last thing I want to do is get fired and then get no unemployment for lack of performance.
After weeks of inner struggles I went to HR and pretty much told them everything. I asked for a leave, which I am sure will end up morphing into LTD. The only problem I have is that my company owns the insurance company that does the STD and LTD. I have to sign a release of my all of my rights medical and otherwise in order to be considered for the leave. In addition, I may be turned down for STD if they determine I have a "disability".
I am stressed, here I was hoping this would be a way to ease the tension in my life. Instead I am freaked and frightened. Has anyone gone through anything like this? If so, advice would be welcome.
