*stressed at work
I’m taking a day off to get caught up on my to do list!
This is great! Ah, screw it. Mental health day. I’m gonna relax!
Fuck why did I waste my day off??
*stressed at work
I haven’t had a job so shitty that I had to explain absence in ages. Even at Lowe’s all I had to do was call a hotline and punch buttons, no explanation required. My wife has a pretty good job, but even with all their bullshit rules, it’s still an automated thing.
I’m pretty sure the only jobs requiring you to justify yourself are restaurants. I wish restaurant workers had basic rights that were enforced. Fucking places make their employees handle staffing for them in order to be allowed to be sick. It’s insane.
“Yeah, I’m feeling my best today, and you don’t pay me enough for my best, so I’ll be hanging out with my family today. I’m planning on getting drunk tonight, so I’ll see you in the morning with a hangover. Don’t schedule any early meetings, okay?”
At this point I’m starting to think it might be better to just take a giant loan at the start of your life which you promise to pay off by having your kids work it off.
And then never having kids.

I can’t wait to take out a 40 year loan at age 70.
This is called a mental health day, “Hello, I won’t be making it in to work today and I’ll be using sick time. Hope your day goes better than mine.”
I used a “sad day” earlier this year when a buddy of mine died and I just couldn’t that day.
If you have a boss that isn’t a terrible person, they understand everybody is human and has human emotions. Sounds like you’ve got that.
Oh yeah he’s possibly my best boss yet. Once he drove me to the hospital for a work-related injury because the ambulance was taking too long. That’s actually a huge personal legal risk he accepted to help me.
that’s what pto is for. unfortunately, you don’t get anymore until january. you used them up in february and april when the kid, then you, got sick.
PTO days?
For those of us with PTO, definitely, but definitely better to be like “hey I’m going to take tomorrow off” than calling out the morning of. This obviously depends on where you work and whether you like your job and/or like your boss
It’s a benefit your company rewards nepo-baby workers by re-classifying their 35 hours a week as full-time, instead part-time. 35 hour part-timers don’t get benefits, and we don’t like nosy part-timers who ask about them. GOT IT?
Not really sure what you were trying to say. But if you are asking about our work week, all employees where I’m at are salary regardless of position. It makes payroll so much easier.S
There was once a standard where people paid the doctor a small sum to stay healthy. Either way, healthcare is a human right and it doesn’t matter.
