- with cause is almost impossible because they have to document and provide too high amount of evidence, correct
- because I've always performed well and long tenured, I've been told that it'll likely be a long PIP process. Everything I've read about PIP is it can be mentally hell and a way to gather evidence to push you down
- all in all, they don't care if I come back as a good employee as the second the new boss came in she had it in for me. They're trying to cover their butt and say they did all the right things. Problem is I don't even know if I'll get approved for short term given I don't want to take drugs, and I'm only doing psychotherapy, plus the aforementioned workplace issue driving this more than anything

I’m not sure what a case manager is, so just in case it’s work related: You employer will not and should not ever know a single detail about the leave.
You tell your doctor. They provide a note which you give directly to your benefits provider. All your employer needs to know is that the leave is starting, and that you’ll let them know when they can expect you back once you figure that out. The only people who can dispute your leave are your doctor and your benefits provider - and neither of them are going to if you needed leave for your health.
If the case manager is from your benefits… there’s no way they are denying something your doctor says. They also won’t really get details, just that leave is happening and your doctor agreed.
