It really depends on how good of a worker you are and how important you are to a company. WHen my friend's husband had a major medical crisis and she was out indefinitely, her boss said take as longs you need, your job will be here when you get back. She was worth her weight in gold and he knew it.[/quote]

Pretty rare and only reserved for exceptional employees with a personal relationship.

OP doesn’t sound like she’s an exceptional employee, just average. They would have her go on disability, and when she comes back she would underperform and be gone in 6 months. [/quote]

What information do you have that OP is "just average"?[/quote]

She works for the government and hasn’t saved a six month emergency fund. That is hardly a go-getter.  No skin off my back, I value work life balance.

oh man, you are being harsh. you can't judge a book by its cover. you can't judge op based on few words here. who knows what her full story is.[/quote]

We know enough to know that she’s a single mom of a special needs child, and now she’s a disabled single mom of a special needs child. She and her child are going to end up on welfare, it sounds like, even though she would have been willing and able to pay for STD and LTD insurance if her employer had offered it. [/quote]
