CALL OFF WORK. CALL OFF WORK.

just called off work and it was fine, I literally lost two hours of sleep this morning over anxiety about calling in. I’ve only called off once in the past 3 months and I’m an awesome employee and a lot of my coworkers call off all the time. So anyway if you can’t work today because you’re tired, sick, don’t wanna, just call off (I know not everyone has this privilege but what I’m trying to say is don’t let grind culture take away your peace) Life is short, capitalism is trash and fuck these corporations stealing our lives and happiness from us

Personal and Work Conflict

Why do I feel so guilty calling off work?

I know so many people do this all the time, yet I had to get confirmation from my husband to make sure I was doing the right thing. I even have a valid excuse; my current cold is the worst I’ve had in a long time, with phlegm and coughing and a runny nose, it’s reminiscent of my school years.

Losing my voice, which I need to properly do my job, should be my first indicator that resting myself should be my main priority, but my need to not disappoint my coworkers and superiors with my absence weighs on me. I know the feeling of stress put on me because someone called off, but a point my husband made was by calling off, I’m preventing more call-offs in the future by not spreading my germs.

So am I the only one who feels this unnecessary guilt of putting my well-being ahead of my work priorities?

Feeling jealous that all the kiddos are off from school Thursday and Friday because of this "hurricane". No fun in being an adult.
