So I called in sick today after going through my morning routine of digesting covid news and global news and to my horror I saw that Russia has indeed started invading Ukraine.. I (21M, living in England) called my manager and said due to the conflict I cannot come in. I get anxious easily and world affairs always trouble me. My managers response when I told him? That if i'm not sick or don't need parental or dependant leave, it's not a valid reason, and he was kind of laughing alittle i'm sure I heard it, as he said it? He said russia has nothing to do with the UK and not to worry right now and that can I come in? He said I did the same thing when China was in the news about Taiwan? I Which has nothing to do with this. I was mortified and didn't know what to say so I ended call. What's my next step r/antiwork community? Can I address this to HR? I'm literally shaking rn I don't know what to do. I need him to understand that we DON'T WORK when we're not in the right frame of mind. MY mental health is FAR more important. Is this what our lives have come to..
