I have a rather complicated issue regarding my employmenti have a rather complicated issue regarding my employment situation. I've recently been put on a performance improvement plan at my job. My boss and I have never really got along, and she is extremely conscendjng in the way she speaks to me and other coworkers. Leading up to this, I've had a huge amount of personal issues going on. My father passed away 2 years ago when I was 8.5 months pregnant. He was a caregiver to my disabled mother and I had to take over her care. I had to take that on and she has bipolar disorder that was not well controlled. I returned to work in September of last year and it was obvious I was struggling. So I went on short term disability for 7 weeks. I came back and things were okay for a while, however, the medication I was on stopped being effective and I found myself not being able to focus or concentrate at work, having issues with short term memory and making mistakes. My boss never brought it to my attention how bad my performance was, and I was blindsided by getting this performance improvement plan. I've been trying to struggle through it, but my mental health isn't in the best shape at the moment and this is making it infinitely worse. I feel very isolated at work. I'm trying to determine if I should quit, and what options I would have in my favour if I did so. I am currently the only person working in my family, as my husband lost his job in January of 2016as well. … read more
