JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT A CURRENT SITUATION AT WORK.
Hi Tiffany! Could you please provide a bit more detail about your situation at work? For example, is it related to harassment, wrongful termination, discrimination, or something else? This will help me provide more accurate information.
MY GRANDMOTHER PASSED AWAY. ALSO MY MOTHER IS HOSPICE NEEDING */* CARE. SO I'VE BEEN TAKING TIME OFF WORK. WHEN I DID GO BACK TO WORK I WAS OVERWORKED, TREATED LIKE I WAS LYING, I ASKED FOR FORMS OF FAMILY LEAVE. THEY IGNORED ME. IVE WORKED WITH MY COMPANY OVER * YEARS.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, Tiffany. In California, you may be eligible for the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and/or the California Family Rights Act (CFRA). Here are some key points:
- FMLA: Federal law allowing up to * weeks of unpaid leave for serious health conditions or family care.
- CFRA: California law providing similar benefits as FMLA, also up to * weeks of unpaid leave.
Have you formally requested leave in writing? This might ensure your request is documented.
YES OVER A TEXT MESSAGE

Thanks for sharing, Tiffany. Documenting your leave request in writing is important. Since you mentioned you requested via text, you could follow up with a formal written request. If your employer continues to ignore your leave request, you might have grounds for legal action.
