Sitting here in pain all night debating on whether to call in for the day. I have several chronic health issues, but power through mild days to avoid conflict. Boss wants me to apply for fmla, which I am glad to have access to. The problem lies in the fact he brings it up every time I use a sick day. Dude Im salary and rarely use all my pto, only sick days because of chronic illness. And no he won't let me use pto for a sick day either I put off dr appointments and other self care to make sure I don't mess up the schedule. But I get a stomach flu and ” It puts everyone in a tight spot”. I'm sick and tired of working myself sick and tired only to be guilted for being a slightly disabled human. Capitalism sucks.
