What is the name of your state? California
I had a long term illness last year and prior to being diasogned and taking leave, I used up more than my allotted amount of sick time. Since that sickness, I have been getting sick more often and being more affected by illnesses. Due to that I've already used my allotted sick time for this year. My company talked to me earlier this year about managing my health and now I've been warned that if I take any more sick time this year I'll be fired, for the reason of being undependable.
Though the situation is lousy I think taking time off and looking into a career change may help overall, since it's hard to get healthier while working 70/hr week required unpaid overtime at a stressful competitive office job.
When I'm ready to go, should I call in sick and let them fire me, or should I quit? Unemployment would make the next few months much easier as I work on building up my health again and find a new line of work. But I would hat e to have a black mark on my resume because of this. If someone calls my company asking why I left, is the company likely to disclose that it was "for being undependable"? I'm sure no future employer wants to hear that.
Thanks for any advice.
