Antiwork

i graduated college with good grades. i lost two very important family members in my life while i was in college. one of them passed away from cancer during my last month of classes right before graduating. It was extremely painful to go through. i had five classes during this time and i just wanted to give up, but my dad told me that I don’t have a choice and “adults go through this stuff and still go to work”. so i managed to pass all of those classes with all As and Bs. After graduating, I thought getting a job would be easy. Everyone was telling me the job market is great right now and everyone is looking for graduates. I’ve must of applied to over 300 jobs on LinkedIn during my first three months since graduating. I’ve gotten a dozen phone call interviews and 3 job interviews for…

This also applies to working from home, they every one posts in the group chat with ALL teams. I understand telling your supervisor and team that you’ll be out, but the precedent set of people saying that they’re sick, working remotely that day, etc. gives me anxiety. I always fear they’ll think I’m lying about being sick or lazy. Also, as someone with a chronic illness that I like to keep private, it’s no one’s fucking business why I’m out. Should I break the precedent for myself or talk to my manager?
