Can anyone advise as to any encounters they have had at work in relation to the above issue?  
  
 Sick day / time off / discrimination / reasonable accomodations / work overload / anything at all.....?
  
 I'm encountering a little bit of it all and don't really know what or how to act or say?
  
 Guess shock is all I'm experiencing.
  
 Thanks in advance for any tips or experiences I can learn something from!
