Count your blessings. I’ve been sick enough to mute my work call while vomiting. (They needed me that day, and mostly I just needed to be on that call.)
But I’ve absolutely had days where I couldn’t get far out of bed.
I got a bad cold or something one time. I spent 2 weeks working from home then the boss told me to go to a doctor. Went and they found nothing so I had to come in. 1.5 weeks later I was over it but not before the rest of the office got pissed at me for getting them sick. I just told them I was forced to come in.
It’s not so much the argument it’s workplace policies that say 6 or more days a year means you can be fired with cause. A late clock-in counts as half of one of those.
At least that’s been standard at most places I’ve worked.

It’s not even that.
In an office setting sick days literally help productivity, because metrics and workload should account for employee’s work hours.
If someone’s on leave for a day, theyre taken out of production numbers.
If they “tough it out” then production numbers say they should produce a normal days workload.
You end up looking worse encouraging a work culture where people don’t take days off.

Yeah that doesn’t work for kitchen staff.

That’s the problem with Gen Z: they don’t want to SHARE

Brutal. There is a world beyond the American dystopia, you know.
And I’ve learned it doesn’t want us unless we wanna be nomads or we really have something amazing to offer.
(Maybe I’m setting the bar too high looking into Scandanavia lol)
You need a new career, yikes

2020 taught people nothing.
