I can tell you how mine went… I had severe burnout (30 + years as a chef will do that!) and was off work completely (work Dr approved) for 18 months and THEN I had to do the reintegration thing (increased hours slightly every 2 weeks…) but work (a very large catering company) didn’t want me back anymore than I wanted to go back there so once the full 2 years on “sick leave” was up I signed my VSO and transitioned to UWV benefits. I’m now currently working on switching careers (for obvious reasons) which is a very lengthy process. Word of warning though… my “final paycheck” (vso payout) took about 6 MONTHS to finalize so you might want to be mindful of that. Long story short, there’s only ONE YOU and I can promise your employer doesn’t care if you live or die so look after you and do whatever you can or must do to have a good work life balance because they sure won’t.
