I was just hospitalized for mania and insomnia and my boss is really cool and understanding about the whole thing so it depends on having a good boss or not I work at like semiconductor industry I got an associates I would get bachelors if I had money for it. Compressed work week is great for me so manufacturing usually has those types of schedule. So you work 3/4 days and get 3/4 days off switching between 3/4 days.
