[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a new poster after 10 odd pages, I can’t say for certain but perhaps I’m the first who’s actually done what OP proposed? Maybe- anyway, at the very height of Covid I had 6 mos paid leave and then did a year additional unpaid. I work for an enormous company and staff was moved around as needed (it’s a 100% in-person job so during Covid lots of accommodations were made for many many different reasons). When my kiddo was 18 mos, daycare’s mostly back open, my mental and physical health restored… I very happily returned to work. Would this have worked at another company or even at mine during non-Covid times? Probably not but doesn’t hurt to ask, although I will also add that my case was helped because I had had delivery complications that my employer was aware of. And I can report that I felt totally different about returning at 18 mos versus 6. [/quote]

I’ve worked at multiple F500 companies and they would have told you that you needed to quit. No company wants to set this precedent even if someone does have complications - and I can’t think of any complications that would require 18 months of time off for a job that was remote. [/quote]

Also curious about how your team handled your absence for 18 months? I would think your colleagues would feel very burnt out and taken advantage of. [/quote]

I'm shocked the company let the LOA linger on. 99% of companies say thank you, we will part ways, and would love to have you back if there's a role available when you're ready to return to the workforce. I also wonder how it worked from a benefits perspective....[/quote]
