[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you have shitloads of money, you would be crazy to give up a federal job right now. You will never get it back, at least not for yours.
Burn through your sick leave, then fmla. Are they in the same city as you? Because you can use fmla to go part time. You are entitled to that by law.
Who knows, given the budget, yr boss may let you take leave or go part time after that. The budget may be tight and he probably wouldn't be allowed to fill an empty slot.
And you do not need to "establish yourself as a primary care giver" it just needs to be an immediate family member or someone who is like an immediate family member.[/quote]

This is OP.  I understand I will never get my current job back if I leave.  Yes, they are in the same city.  The problem is my job is not flexible and my boss is not supportive, and keeps making remarks that make it clear that he is being inconvenienced by my need to take sick leave to accompany parents to the doctor, etc.  I have not been able to negotiate any reduction in job duties so working PT doesn't really make sense, plus boss doesn't support it.  I could argue with him and talk to HR, but I don't have months to deal with that. It is probably true that boss cannot fill my slot if I need to quit. I don't have "shitloads of money" but we could swing a year without me working and could absorb reduction in salary when I'm able to return.  Frankly, I'm not superwoman and want to get my priorities straight and take care of those who need me without feeling guilty all the time. [/quote]

I'm the pp. I am also out of work right now. Trust me, you won't just be taking a year off.

Your boss is obligated by law to let you do this. You need to take half an hour to sit down with hr and get this figured out. Are you status? Bc if so it is near impossible to fire you.[/quote]
