So many times. Why get sick days if you don't use them?


The culture has shifted. Back in the day if you didn't work you didn't get paid, before that if you didnt go out catch food you died like a dog. Then communist soylings came along and lobbied for nanny state to give all this bullshit like sick leave, maternity leave, paid holidays, 40 hour work week, etc etc.

Now entitled npcs think that sick days means just free days to not work irrespective of being sick smh.

Mental Health wellness day is the new verbiage to abuse sick day with.


Haha I don’t even have to abuse it if I tell my boss I need a mental health day he says, “okay, your well being is more important than any job so do what you need to do”

Before I absolutely called out sick when I wasn’t, but these days I just tell my boss I’m getting burnt out and need a day. I take off when I feel like it, one of the perks of having a hard to replace skillset.

I also don’t “request” time off. I make plans, and tell my boss I won’t be in for these weeks because I’m taking a trip.


I ain't gonna work for no soul sucking jerk
I'm gonna take it all back and I ain't saying jack
Standing right here with a beer in my hand
And my mouth is full of sand and I don't understand
Fourteen days I been sleeping in a barn
Better get a paycheck tattooed on my arm
