I was diagnosed with cancer on the tail end of 2020, and since I was on contract, I was unable to receive any from of disability leave payments. For that reason, I would often log on, sit around playing my Nintendo, then after 6-7 hours of doing nothing, log off. Work was 100% voluntary, if I didn't work, I simply didn't get paid. Also, I didn't have a schedule since I was on contract for a project. Once the project was done, I was done.
My team was fully aware of what was going on. But I would always play the “I'm so tired” card, that's why it took me 2 weeks to make this spreadsheet. Which was 95% true. There were some days that I felt great, but I didn't want to spend them wasting away in front of a computer screen.
However, it's ruined my work-from-home ethic. I can never work from home again, because If I do, I associate it with just sitting around, feeling like shit, and getting nothing done.
Probably isn't the best argument for working from home, but a guy's gota pay his bills.
