Summary
Navigating a divorce and child custody battle can be emotionally challenging. In California, workplace harassment is illegal, and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) protects employees jobs under certain conditions. If youve informed your employer about your situation and still face unfair treatment, it could be considered FMLA retaliation. Harassment that creates a hostile work environment is also unlawful. You have the right to address your concerns with HR and should consider seeking legal counsel for detailed advice.Full Conversation
I'm currently going through a divorce. It hurts so bad the person that I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with has abandoned me. Not to mention that she wants to keep full custody of my daughter. That pain has been very hard to process. I've been calling out of work so much due to the pain. I don't know how to manage it.

the reason why I'm reaching out because I have been calling off work so much. Due to the pain of the divorce. All my callouts have been properly managed through FMLA. Sometimes I'm sick and often times I'm dealing with the grief of the situation. My boss at work has been fed up with me calling out so much that he has been trying to put me on edge to lose my job, not to mention my coworkers always make comments here and there about me calling out so much what was the final straw was in a group thread with them and they made comments about me missing work, not at me specifically, but about there is no support because of callouts. Am I being harassed here?
