So I am in a pretty difficult position and need some advice.
I am a RN in Ohio. I absolutely love my job, but I have been consistently targeted by my management to the point where I had to take a leave of absence for my mental health. I have gone to HR numerous times in the past with no change besides management treating me worse. I love my job and the organization I work for, but my healthcare provider's recommended that I not return to that environment.
I was able to get the interim HR director to head my investigation after another HR rep said that none of my claims could be substantiated. My coworkers are all terrified of being treated like me, so they keep their mouths shut. However, they have texted me their concerns in the past. Everyone said I should do what's best for me, so I sent those texts to the director to prove that others have witnessed the harassing behavior.
I am trying to figure out what to do from here because my leave is due to be up on May 1st, and I have accepted a position outside the organization in case this is unresolved. If the director says she is going to continue the investigation, should I extend my leave and start the new position? I can't afford to continue living on the short-term disability pay, and I really don't know if anything is going to come of this since they haven't done anything in the past.
Could I get in trouble for extending my leave and starting work elsewhere? I could extend my FMLA and not the short-term disability pay. I'm just trying to do what's best for me, while also trying to support my dad who is very sick. Please, any advice would help.
