First of all, I finally gave notice at my job. I went back after my foot surgery on 1/6. And my administrator summoned me to his office. And raked me over the coals for 30 minutes. If you’re playing along at home, you may remember that 2 days before my surgery, my direct supervisor, who reports to the administrator, made very derogatory statements to me regarding my "physical disabilities, family drama, and mental issues." So her boss’s solution was to inform me that I had a personal issue with her that I was gonna have to work out. Because he has 100% confidence in her and she’s not going anywhere. He sent me home to think about whether I REALLY wanted to work there.
Well, f*ck no, I don’t. But I REALLY like paying my mortgage and eating and shit like that. 🙄🙄🙄
So I have to give a 30 day notice in order to be paid out my accrued time. And I earned that and I’m not letting them off the hook for that.
I am actually going to work with someone I have worked with before. We used to share an office so we already know each other’s quirks. It’s much less work, less stress for almost the same pay. And it’s absolutely worth it for my mental health.
Also……
This should be in a separate post but I have to keep it as quiet as I can while also sharing this amazing news with those of you who have "known" me for going on 14 years. Y’all, my daughter has emailed me twice. This isy daughter who I gave up for adoption and have wept and grieved over for almost 38 years. It’s very tentative and I won’t share any details. But I am ecstatic and finding healing and peace there. I know there are some of you who have been praying with me for this and I thank you.

I think your current employer could get in trouble for not allowing reasonable accommodations, but it seems to be a moot point. I wouldn't let them off the hook for the accrued time, based on their behavior.
I'm glad you're going to be working with somebody you know.
Good luck with reuniting and wishing you the best outcome.

Great news.
When this guy says he is 100% behind his direct report, I think that means he's hiding from her problems.
I hesitate to ask, but ... Do you have any update on JM? Is he out of the/his woods?

Sisoon Thank you SO much for asking. JM is doing really well also. He is actually applying for jobs right now and wanting to use his experience to help someone else.
I went to a bridal shower for my nephew’s fiancée over the weekend and my sister texted me later to say how good it was for her to see me actually happy again. Felt really good too.
