Depends on the kind of stress and also personality of an individual who is a victim of depression. Very emotional person might take this to his heart and suffer extensively.\n\nSometimes the bitter feeling remain for a long time, but not on all occasions.\n\nBest thing is to ignore, and take learnings from experience. Never take it too much personal. \n\nAfterall, there are amazing things in world / life which we skip and concentrate on surrounding as if it's the whole universe.

It would be unwise to return to work too soon and the nature of your work requires clear reasoning powers.  When you return should be determined by joint decision between you and your psychologist.  Speak to your psychologist about this and find out from HR what the proper pocedure is for a return-to-work.

Depends on what is going on.\n\nIf it is a conflict of work styles... you need to sit down and talk about it, come to a solution, and keep moving forward.\n\nIf it is a bully... you need to take it to HR or follow the process of your company.\n\nIf you can't get resolution and the company won't help you... you need to look somewhere else (transfer or go to another company).\n\nUnfortunately, many companies only realize they have the wrong person in a management position when it is too late and good people are leaving.\n\nJust make sure to take care of your mental health during all of this. It can put a real strain on life.

There are so many of us who eventually have to face this situation. You can not change other people or control how they act BUT you have all the power in the world to control how YOU act. Be professional and cordial because this will only work towards your benefit. This is your job. Don't let anyone ruin that for you. It may be difficult but you'll be a lot less irritated if you keep a reasonable distance and maintain short , professional interactions. And exhale afterwards and let it go. Don't hang on to the irritation after you're gone home. Leave the bad feelings behind. It will make going to work so much easier.

In emergencies I work better under stress and remember to t do things I thought I had forgotten (i.e. CPR).  Stress interferes when I am given a deadline on a major project at work.\n\nLately I have felt overwhelmed at home, but otherwise happy.\n\nMoods cause us to remember situations in a bad or good light... a mood determines how something is remembered, as well as the expected outcome.

Tell them if they only accept it after Thanksgiving, it will be a one week notice.  I've never heard of a boss doing that.  When IS a good time?  I mean, you never like to lose people but if they resign, you can't put it off by telling them 'now is not a good time'.  Sheesh.

It is usually extra to your statutory or contractual rights to leave on the grounds of sickness or annual leave. It is generally given for bereavement or special needs, such as temporarily caring for a family member or close friend. It is always at the discretion of your employer.

Its normal if you're under alot of stress.  You need to remove the stress, not your head.  Some people call it quiting but if you need to quit to keep your life or sanity then do it.  You're worth it.

You can put in a notice of resignation anytime you want. You don't have to be back at work in order to do that.  I know people who are pregnant who are out on FMLA leave and they decided they don't want to come back, so they just give their notice. It probably doesn't even have to be 2 weeks since you are already out and not currently working anyways.

Stress pulls apart. Pressure pushes down.

Give them only the required notice (usually only 2 weeks) - you only need to give more if you want to keep on good terms with the people.\n\nAfter leave of absence or not, it makes no diff.

Employees should be treated with dignity and have the right to keep their personal lives separate from their business lives.\n\nDemanding information about taking sick leave is one of the more sensitive areas.\n\nEmployees should be made aware that use of emails within the company server and phone calls using the company phone system are not private.  They shouldn't find out the hard way.
