Question

I miscarried a week and a half to two weeks ago. I tried to quit my job but my bosses harassed me into just taking the week off and coming back. Today is my first day back and I’m really struggling. I wasn’t ready for this. I was only quitting because I can’t get medical or any type of leave from my job because I’ve only been here about 5-6 months. It’s a really stressful environment and my boss has me working 6 days in a row right off the bat, she never had me do that even before the miscarriage so I feel like I’m being punished for missing the week. My husband works 60 hours a week, and although our bills would be paid, we would be so broke it’s not funny. Do you think there’s any chance that under these circumstances I could get unemployment for a month of two so I could properly mourn this loss, and take care of my health. Or are there any grants or anything for stuff like this? 
I am so overwhelmed and have no idea what to do.

Answer

You can go to department of labor over this. They cannot harass you for wanting to quit.

Answer

You should’ve asked your provider to put u out for a medical leave due to mentally not being ready to go back to work just yet. My provider gladly did that for me when I had a miscarriage years back. Work environment was toxic and i couldn’t stand to be there on top of dealing with the loss.

Answer

you’d have to have lost your job/ laid off or fired to receive unemployment. sorry your going through that. your mental, physical and emotional health is way more important

Answer

How far along were you? I don’t think there’s anything like that for a miscarriage, probably just for a stillbirth. I took like a week and a half or two weeks off after my miscarriage at 9 weeks and then no time at all for my chemical pregnancy.

Answer

Your boss can't make you come into work. If you want to quit, then quit. But you can't quit a job and then file for unemployment, you would need to be fired or laid off. Depending on the circumstances, you might qualify for FMLA through your job though.

Answer

I really just need pointed in the right direction..

Answer

On top of all of that, I was sexually assaulted in January, and that case is ongoing. So I have constant reminders of that due to court updates and hearings. It’s all weighing on me and I need to rest. My soul needs rest. I feel so weak for being hurt so badly by all of this. But one day I was pregnant and making plans for the new life I was growing and the next I wasn’t. No one prepares you for that.
