[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do understand you are replaceable, right?

I am not saying this to be mean but it sounds like you need the reminder. [/quote]

Op here. Yes, I’m aware that I can be replaced. It will take my company quite a bit of time though. If they fired me today (which they can’t since I’m on protected leave), the soonest they could even get a posting up for my role would be 3-4 months, then another 4-6 months to actually get a replacement, if all goes well.

Though they’ve had a very hard time getting applicants to our current roles.[/quote]

They're going to start now since you're not doing your job. They absolutely CAN legally hire now for your replacement and I'm sure they are. [/quote]

Op here. They can hire a replacement I guess but since I’m on FMLA have to keep my role open for me until I return.[/quote]

They CAN fire you (just not BECAUSE you took FMLA). They can also hire a person in your job while you're out. You are just not as protected as you think you are. Tread more carefully. [/quote]

Op here. What do you mean by tread more carefully? I’d help facilitate the transition but I’m literally not allowed to work.

There’s nothing in the works to document any performance issues before I took the FMLA, so I think it would be hard for them to let me go now.

If they let me go though, I could get unemployment which would be great.[/quote]
