I’ve been feeling very sick for the past few days with dizziness and nausea (non covid related). The place I work at has a culture where employees work as much as possible and stay in the office as long as possible. Management makes you feel guilty if you miss a day or if you take off an extra 30 min early for family matters. I’m currently in graduate school and I have a speech to give today as part of a project, and I find myself feeling guilty I have to skip it, just like I’d feel guilty about missing work. It makes me feel like I’m too lazy and I just need to suck it up and go in anyways. It’s a bizarre feeling and more kids in this country need to be taught that health comes first.
