So I’ve been employed at my current job since October. I’ve taken MAYBE 10 days off (outside of required days off) for various reasons. A week of those were for COVID. One was for a wedding. Anything outside of illness I have asked 2 weeks in advance for.
I also bust my ass. I have often stayed late to help out my coworkers. I go above and beyond every single night.
Tonight, I just don’t want to. I can’t. Mentally and physically, I’m exhausted.
There’s 3 other people there.
1 of them often takes WEEKS off at a time.
And yet my boss makes me feel like shit for taking a night off.
Hopefully I won’t be there much longer, but mental health matters JUST as much as physical health.
