I think the way we work in my home country so damn unhealthy.
People would rather go to work injured or sick than to take a day off. I got a colleague that fell off her motorcycle, she injured her feet and she went to work normally. She spent the whole day limping and in pain, and she didn't even go to a hospital to see if her injury was bad or not.
Some managers have no empathy for the ones in positions below them.
And people does not understand that, for all companies, we're replaceable.
If I die today, tomorrow the company will get another person on my place. If I die tomorrow, the company will not comfort my family.
I can have a job today and than be fired tomorrow. My country have laws to protect workers' jobs, but they still can fire us with no notice. They just pay us all fines they have to and boom! You're jobless.
And next week they get another one to do the job I used to do.
So, if we're so replaceable, why the fuck will I work when I'm sick? Or injured?? Or will stay my whole shift when I clearly can't??? Why the fuck will I sacrifice my physical and mental health for a damn company that can replace me whenever they want?!
If I need I will for sure get a doctor's note! My health is way more important to me than my job.
I know people have bills to pay, have families, children, mortgage.
I, myself, have a mortgage to pay. But if I'm fired today, I can go seek for another job. There's thousands of companies worldwide and lots of jobs, I can get another one. It's tough? Yes, but not impossible.
A fucking job does not worth sacrificing my health.
