I don't know how often this is happening, but I know of a person who ordered by their doctor to take extended absence due to stress-caused illness. The person is the last one you'd think could not take it any longer, but was driven to their knees. Fortunately, sounds like a good physician is involved in helping the person.
Is anyone else hearing about this happening in their group? With the bullying by managers old and new, demotions, title changes, etc., just wondering how widespread this is.
