> "we care about your mental health" as is the common internal email from HR I told my last boss I needed to take 3 months off because I was severely burnt out, without pay or benefits of course, and I am sure the team could handle it because there were 10 other devs including me and we didn't have that much work to do, and guess what happened? That's right, got fired a week later. I literally built the team, including hiring the team manager (I'm not interested in management), and built the first version of the product my team was developing and they didn't care; they wanted to eliminate my weakness. Their stock is worth 1/4th of what it was when I was "let go", so I feel pretty happy about that (because I'm a prick).
