Jordan same
I also absolutely hate taking sick days, but after a certain point I end up calling in. If its a cold? I wear a mask. If its a fever, or I cant make it 30 minutes without using the bathroom, or symptoms are genuinely interfering with functioning, im calling out. Also massive migraines are call in material for me. If you're like me and rarely call out, im sure your job wont mind. All my jobs have been super accommodating when I call in just because it is such a rarity. They knew if Im calling something is up, I suspect it will be viewed similarly for you. take the time if you need it.
Zachbbs yeah like once a year
depends on your job as i guess. mine is very casual, doesnt like micromanage or track our computer clicks lmao. i wont work for 3 days at a time and no one notices LMAOOOOOOOOOO. if you truly feel awful and dont wanna worry about it just take the day, but if you think you could kinda check in and out while resting then just do that!
brookie for ours it’s 3 sickness periods in 6 months or 4 in 12 but I think I’ve had one in the last 18 months
