That's how I feel with my company. I'll be pushing this short term disability for as long as I can. Which is 12 weeks.
One of the few positives I can say about my company is that I get 100% pay for the first 2 months.
The way I look at it is that if I get fired, I'll be able to go to grad school full-time, so I'm really not too worried about it. It's damn near impossible to get fired for poor performance here anyway, you have to do something like intentionally break rules dealing with your phone on-site or lie on your time card to get fired.
I will be honest, going full time for grad school and working part time as either a TA, researcher or maybe even an engineering temp sounds pretty awesome.
