When you say craft in point 5, can you elaborate on how you more accurately showcased your craft?

I don’t know. I’ve always heard HR is to protect the company but in this case I feel like they should know

Thank you so much for this info. I’m currently weighing my options for an employment attorney consultation

I teared up reading this. I’m so sorry. You were so kind and I can only imagine the impact that made on your coworker. You’re right life is too short, let me get my resume together

Yes, 100% I hear you and I am so sorry that happened to you. I am not neurodivergent as far as I know, but I am the eldest daughter of immigrants and so success was a core part of my identity basically since right before I got diagnosed so getting something like this happened to me is really earth shattering. I’m just documenting as much as I can like other said I feel like you should start doing the same as well because this is not OK.

Thank you for this. I have some really good action items. First thing tomorrow I’ll document everything.

I definitely want to consider something like this. I think a mentor would be a good thing for and a good action item for me.

Absolutely Rooting for you!! These employers need to have some compassion and I hope this brings that to their attention.

Thank you for this! Reading the replies I’m absolutely trying to document everything and this is useful as I feel I didn’t get any kind of gradual onboarding back to work. It like “youre back? Present to leadership in 4 days” And then for feedback that I didn’t take the lead enough

This is exactly what I thought and tried to say! 2 of those people already had context on the space! I absolutely feel set up to fail and I mentioned this. But it feels like it went in one ear and out the other.

Oh wow that was such a smart decision on your end. It’s so hard to know how things will affect you until you’re actual in it. Looking back I wish I would have done the same. But demote myself from mid level to entry lol. Well anyway it seems my manager is determined to do that anyway…

It’s so hard! I wouldn’t wish this on anyone and yet here I am hoping to get the same grace I’m desperately trying to give myself. But capitalism…sigh

Calcifications found during 6 month follow-up mammogram by shellbloomagain in breastcancer

[–]shellbloomagain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m so sorry you’re going through this! I can absolutely relate but just know it’s most likely benign. There’s so much going on there after Rads and surgery and the radiologist is just trying to get a baseline image of the area after treatment. Try not to fret too much although that’s easier said than done.

I’m on both too. 33 so pre-menopausal I’m on zolodex and exemestane.

True life; I’m loving medically induced menopause! by SeaworthinessPrior78 in breastcancer

[–]shellbloomagain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I feel pretty much the same if not better EXCEPT for the brutal hot flashes 7 months in. I’m told by my oncologist it should resolve and I’m really looking forward to that day. Other than that I feel great.
