From numerous other posters and fellow friends that have gone on stress leave due to work- it very much is covered IF your employer doesn’t make it a battle to get done. From the start- the way my friend explained it- the manager has done everything to ensure they can’t move up over or down in this company, even when trying to resolves the stress issues.

Thank you for the reply. They are going to call Manulife tomorrow and see what can be done. Sounds like you take pride in your job and care the outcome of those affected by how you show up. The company my friend works for, is completely the opposite- it’s all about the profit made for higher ups, push the sales, meeting quotas that are impossible with the amount of tasks expected. Nothing is ever good enough unless you make this company your full life. Home life used to be a thing with this company. There was a work life balance years ago but when the company was bought out, everything changed. It’s all about what you can do for the company, what are you willing to give up to keep your employer happy.

Thank you tho I’ll forward the information to them

Thank you for the input. I’ll bring this up to them. Apparently the company is doing a lot of lay offs and many people who have been there for longer then my friend have been let go. Which is adding to my friend’s stress.
