I'm currently in a situation where I need to take some time off to visit family for a few weeks, but I'm feeling anxious about it. My company has recently laid off a lot of people, and I'm worried that my absence might be resented by my coworkers or management. I know I have the right to take my leave, but I can't shake the feeling that it might reflect poorly on me given the current circumstances. I've read that it's not my problem if my employer struggles to manage without me, but it's hard not to feel guilty. I just want to make sure I'm making the right choice for my family and myself.
