Workplace Education

[infinitiram]

I recently switched employers after having to take a medical/stress leave at my old job. I've missed "25%" of my training time at my new job due to the passing of my dog, a natural gas leak in my home (went without hot water for days and I still don't have heat...), and my depression/anxiety. I am now being written up due to these reasons.. I really wish workplaces would educate themselves on mental health. I don't know what to do.. This is just adding to my anxiety and sending me into a depression state. Advice? Tips? Please help

I agree. Workplaces need to learn how to not cause more stress or anxiety for their employees. It would help make us feel more appreciated and have higher work production.

In case you aren’t aware of this but depression is considered a disability I know I have it and you are in a protected class

I would contact the EEOC or go online and get yourself protected so you can protect your job

Go online where to do what? I'm intrigued by being protected, just not sure how to do so!

Do a google search for” Rights of a disabled person Click on one of the links and you’ll see what your rights are because depression is considered a disability under American disabilities act
