So can non-disabled people stop doing that thing where they act like itโs morally righteous to force yourself to work while youโre sick and assume taking sick days automatically equates to laziness. Any time now. Thatโd be great
The leader of the scout group I help out at approached me out of hours while I was walking to work to tell me that people have been talking behind my back because I missed more sessions than I attended this term (on account of having Covid twice) and was like โWe all show up when weโre sick because we take responsibilityโ and I felt really shitty and guilty and cried the whole workday then I got home and told my mum and she was like โSo they want you to throw up on the kids? Thatโs dodgy. They donโt even pay you. Stop goingโ and a wave of serenity hit me like a bus
