break from the daily grind of the workplace. >> having a career break is way more common now than it has ever been. for everything from mental health reasons, bereavement, wanting to reset in their careers and rethink what they want to do next. >> the national alliance on mental illness says 52% of employees reported feeling burned out in the past year because of their job, with higher burnout rates among experienced and manager level positions. it was an all too familiar feeling for daisy dominguez, who took nine months off work on what she called a radical sabbatical. >> i needed to reclaim parts of me that i had lost over those three and a half years, and that i didn't even know what they were or what it was, other than i felt deeply burnt out. >> but taking that break requires intense planning. starting with your budget and checking with your company first. not everybody is. >> adele. be flexible. talk to your managers about it. can i

take a leave of absence? is there a family medical leave opportunities there? the planning. super important. >> and that's nightline for this evening. catch a full episodes on hulu. we'll see you right back here. same time tomorrow. does it have to be like this? at kaiser permanente, we have a different kind of healthcare... so, how did you like doctor lum? ...where all of us work together for all that is you.

like this, it is something that i see as very, very serious. >> the top prosecutor in san francisco, sitting down with abc7 news one on one. the shooting of 40 niners rookie wide receiver ricky pearsall is now in the hands of the court. good evening. i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley. >> thanks for joining us. attempted murder charges have been filed against the teenage suspect in the attempted robbery case of pearsall. the shooting happened saturday in san francisco's union square.

>> abc7 news reporter j.r. stone sat down with d.a. brooke jenkins in an interview. you'll see only on seven. >> those charges now are attempted murder with additional gun enhancements. >> san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins laying out the charges against the 17 year old suspect in the ricky pearsall case. the 49 ers wide receiver shot in the chest saturday in san francisco's union square. i sat down with jenkins in a one on one interview tuesday night. she says in addition to the attempted murder charge, the suspect also faces assault with a semiautomatic weapon and second degree attempted robbery charges is attempted murder the strongest charge that you could have filed in this case? yes. >> it does appear to have been the most serious charge that was eligible based on these facts. >> monday, bullet holes could still be seen here, here and here on the side of a building and in the area where pearsall was shot in a scuffle during the attempted robbery tuesday. jenkins was bold about holding the suspect and others in

similar cases, accountable. >> i want it to be clear that san francisco is not a safe haven for criminal behavior. i know that there was a time period where people thought that lawlessness was something that we were going to tolerate. those days are over, but it is still unclear if jenkins will try to prosecute the minor as an adult. >> in california, a da wanting to do that must request a transfer hearing to an adult court, which requires a juvenile court judge's ruling. in 2022, jenkins announced a new policy for 16 and 17 year olds to be charged as adults in heinous crimes. do you look at this case as a heinous case? >> the prior district attorney had a policy that he would never seek to try a juvenile as an adult. i came in saying, look, we have to put options on the table for certain types of crime. and so attempted murder is included in the type of crime that i have said. this office will potentially consider for whether or not we think it's appropriate to seek to transfer

a juvenile to adult court. >> the suspect's first court appearance will happen wednesday afternoon. j.r stone, abc seven news. >> and the 49 ers returned to practice today. and they have a game in six days. however clearly that was not the focus as we got to hear from the team about what happened to ricky pearsall. it started with general manager john lynch addressing the media along with stars brandon aiyuk and trent williams, who just ended holdouts. >> other players shared their reaction about how jarring this is to have a teammate shot like this. obviously it's stunning. sports director larry beil is here to talk more about this, and obviously we're hearing the stories. larry. it's clearly something reverberating from the playing field all the way to upper management. >> well, you can call it a wake up call if you want, but at the very least it's a reminder about the value of human life. we take it for granted that we're going to be here tomorrow. that may not be the case for everybody. 40 niners gm john lynch, he probably put it best. he said. the call on saturday was one that you never, ever want to get after spending just one night in

the hospital, though, pearsall felt good enough to visit the 40 niners team facilities yesterday and talked with his teammates. today was the first day we got to hear from the 40 niners about exactly what happened to ricky pearsall, and there was an overwhelming sense of relief that he is going to be okay and will be able to play at some point this season. >> by the grace of god, ricky pearsall is here with the team and doing really well. >> we've learned a little more about what was going on. on saturday, pearsall did an autograph session and general manager john lynch says the rookie wideout then went shopping for luggage for upcoming road trips. the niners also held a party that night for the team, which pearsall would have attended. lynch says he ended up making an appearance virtually from the hospital. >> kind of a cool moment. we were able to pipe ricky into the party and he facetimed the entire group and man, that show of love and respect was was a real special moment for our team. >> the overall experience proved to be really sobering for the entire franchise, starting with the front office.

>> you never loved to get any call with regards to your players where they're in danger or peril. and their earliest calls that i received were were extremely scary. >> wide receiver brandon aiyuk just rejoined the team after a lengthy holdout. he played with pearsall briefly in college at arizona state, a very traumatic experience for all involved. >> just super happy that he's alive. we're able to see him and talk to him. >> this may sound a bit miraculous, but pearsall was at the 40 niners facility on monday, working out in the gym, and some of the players got to see him and talk with him and just hugged him and just hugged him and, just just let him know, man. >> just take it at his own pace. >> as soon as i saw him, i smiled, man, like, i just, i smiled, went and wrapped him up, hugged him. >> offensive lineman trent williams, who just ended his holdout, says what happened to his teammate was one of the motivating factors for him returning to the niners. williams had this message just staying in the moment and realizing that, you know, your

life is more important than anything, that you can wake up and put on, that's for sure. pearsall is going to miss at least the first month of the season. lynch said he's dealing with other minor injuries. he's had some shoulder issues. it just didn't seem possible that he could be ready to go any sooner than you know. with a month of rest. but man, can you imagine you get shot on saturday and two days later you're in the gym again. i mean, i don't know, i don't know what ricky pearsall is made out of, but i wish i had some of it. youth helps. yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah. >> thanks, larry. all right. >> and again the niners kick off their new season against the new york jets monday levi's stadium. and of course you can watch it right here on abc seven. coverage begins at 5:00. >> all right. let's take you outside for a live look from the golden gate bridge. we're feeling the heat this week with a spare, the air alert and a heat advisory as well. >> let's bring in abc seven news meteorologist andy patel. looking at what we should expect for tomorrow. sandhya. yeah. >> blistering heat. dan and ama, we're going to be seeing those
