I was looking up ways to regain sanity and to get my workload back to a level that's not stress inducing and keeps me sane when I came across an article that talks about “the unspoken rule” which is this apparantly:
“Every office has an unspoken rule when it comes to sick leave, and it usually goes a little something like this: although you have a sick day allowance, it’s generally frowned upon if you take those sick days. In other words, beware of the backlash you’ll receive when you return to work.”
I'm sorry lol what? I know in the US you get a fixed amount of sick days per year (glad we don't have that here) but even if you get really sick people will judge you for that? What the corporate fuck?
