I’m thinking about requesting it in the near future to take care of my family. Would it be possible to request it for a period of around 6–12 months? Is there any risk that I wouldn’t be allowed to return afterward? Has anyone, or one of your colleagues, taken it before and returned successfully?

It depends. Are you an American, or are you an employee in a country that actually protects its workers’ rights? If you’re the former, prepare to be scre*ed.

I know ppl who took family or medical leave for a few weeks and were let go immediately after. It’s a dirty game CVX plays.
