Who the fuck cares why I want to take time off from work? Why would it matter? Why do I need to give a reason to why I want or need to be absent?
I’m either working or I’m not. The only reason why they would want a reason is to use it as a non-justifiable excuse to be absent from work. It’s a form of control and manipulation to guilt you into working unless it’s a life/death or a legal reason.
