The short version - working in a large global company, I had a female manager who always treated me differently from my peers - many of which she is close & personal friend with. They had ben trying to remove me from the team so when she left the company she wrote me a really negative eval (which have been 100% til now and even from outside this team, always rated highly). I am mentally broken, have severe anxiety and have been depressed and the matter has reached HR. I took FMLA but dread the thought of returning. My anxiety keeps getting worse wondering if I need to file for Workers Comp and also what kind of options do I have to ask from HR? They've already told me to find another team to work with as they can't create a role for me or get rid of the whole team. I'm finding other managers are not looking to take me on due to the visibility of this issue. I'm also in no frame of mind to find another job. What can I expect and ask for from HR in light of this situation? Thank you in advance.

    I would try for short term disability and network and apply like crazy while you are out.

    Thank you for the suggestion. My understanding is that STD wouldn't apply to a "work related injury" . Is this incorrect? Thanks.

    Don't let the opinion of others keep you from having a career.

    I'm not sure what HR can or will do, but YOU have to take control here.

    This organization you work with is not the only one out there. Start looking, networking.
    Something else WILL show up.

    Thank you so much - some good insights. I just heard HR has made a determination - not sure what that means. I'm looking to find out next week.
