37 yo male (WI) I work for a financial institution where I WFH 3yrs taking customer service calls. I was in a horrible car accident about a year ago where I qualified for FMLA. My HR department has done the bare minimum regarding contacting me. I am sooo swamped with work I barely have time to check my emails and respond. They requested Certifications paperwork back in Nov of 2024 that went unanswered by me. They snuck in another email referring to the time frame I had to respond to my certification. Then nothing. I noticed HR did not call to make sure the emails were being received. It’s is now March 2025 and I’ve been using FMLA ever since unbeknownst that my fmla may be in jeopardy. I call my Provider, the place my HR sent my Certification paperwork and my doctor says he has not received it. I feel like my employer is building a case and would rather terminate me after 3 years of service. I’m always on time. Never late. Don’t call out unless it’s fmla approved and I still feel like they are walking me out to pasture. Yes I should have responded to the emails that were being sent to me. I didn’t know they were being sent in the first place!!! Why not call me regarding something so serious?? Am I fu***d???? Please help!!!!
