Archived To quit or not to quit

[tired748]

So, I've only been working at Target for a short time, but I've come to realize that I'm not sure if I should be working.
I'm about 3 months pregnant, and this week alone I've been in the ER twice, I've spontaneously started bleeding and I keep randomly getting dizzy from being over worked by working in the backroom, i was in a car accident and I'm positive i have whiplash, my LOD caught an attitude with me for being sick and calling out due to being in the ER, and now I have important family matters to take care of (urgent emergencies).
Target has switched some of my shifts from 8 hours to 4 hours, and I am now a cashier and not working in the back.
I really want to stay working at Target, but I feel like my body can't take it and now I have family things to worry about that I can't get time off for.

Any advice?

EDIT: I was just informed after posting this that my boyfriend needs a vital surgery for his stomach. Details are messy, but essentially he needs this or his stomach will eat itself and really badly hurt him. My luck is running out, and I feel like I should leave for my family.

Ask for a stool if you’re cashiering...

If you can’t handle that it’s time for an LOA.

And if that doesn’t work because you’re too new for an LOA it’s time to quit.

If you're eligible, there's also FMLA which protects your job for absences related to (as the name implies) (F)amily and (M)edical (L)eave.

@HRLady drop us some knowledge, yo!

If you can afford to leave, by all means leave. Obviously your health and family comes first. You don’t need strangers on the internets to tell you that.

You're absolutely right. Thank you, I'm leaving Target tomorrow.

@tired748, call the Target Benefits Center at 800-828-5850 and talk to the Leave and Disability team about your situation to see if you qualify for LOA. Representatives are available between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m., Central Time, Monday through Friday.

Best advice.
