“Return to remote job or continue resting”

Took unpaid leave due to extreme stress and mental breakdown. Manager's behavior was unreasonable and contributed to breakdown.

What I wish I knew
"More about manager's behavior before taking leave"
If I could tell you one thing
"Set clear boundaries and prioritize mental health when returning to work"
