Hey guys,
I have a little history with being sick from my job since about a year ago, i’ve called in sick about 4 times now. 3 of those were legit, 1 time I couldve gone but chose not to.
Now I called in sick this Monday (it’s the 4th time) and am debating if I should go today.
My manager on Monday asked me if I “really was sick, and that everyone doesnt feel 100% some days”. I get that, but it makes me feel he does not trust me. I am not feeling good enough to work, and he may not see or notice any physical illness, that does not mean I am not sick.
I have been feeling more and more depressed for the last few months due to a lot of stuff happening in my life and general fuck-ups on my part.
My question is, should I just bite my teeth and go to work? Manager already told me that there would be a conversation about this, but I think I’ll just get mad at him for not believing me.
I feel bad when I don’t go (but i’m not supposed to), but feel equally bad if I do go.
Please share some thoughts! Thank you.
P.S. this has nothing to do with hating my job, it’s not that.
