THIS is true wisdom

I took a single day of fake sickleave recently, to be able to actually work on a worktask i needed to finish, and not be interrupted by meetings
Take a real sick day to go see a therapist that's psychopath behavior

Is it a fake sick leave if I need a one day break to fix my mental health? I don’t think so.

I'm sure it's not an universal thing hah, it is just how it works at my job
Oh yeah, I was just venting. Every place has their quirks. I wish I had your lowkey Fridays.

Bad mental health is a sickness. If people have mental illness they don't just sit there and deal with it, they go to a doctor to get it fixed or at least under control. I have no qualms in talking a sick day off to get away from it all when I'm overwhelmed. If my employer says otherwise, then fuck them, I'll find a place to work where they respect that.

We pay it in 12 hour days during the week if it is busy. Easy Fridays make those easier

Just getting a doctor's note costs something in the US? Whenever I need a note I call my GP and ask the receptionist to write me one. The doctor doesn't even do anything except sign the paper that the receptionist prints out! Charging for that seems crazy
I don't think they mean an actual price

I'm a school bus driver. Our district has a policy that for paid holidays (e.g. Labor Day) you have to show up for the work day prior and the work day following, or you don't get paid for that holiday. This is ostensibly to prevent people from stretching a three-day weekend into four or five consecutive days off by taking pretend sick leave. I was a white-collar worker (programmer) for my whole career before this and never encountered any kind of rule like this.
Why would people having a long holiday be an issue in the first place?

Can confirm, low-key Fridays are a thing at my job as well

I dont make enough to afford a shrink, But I do get one day a sick leave per month to use when I can't get out of bed.
Trust me, I would love to see a head doctor, But this is the best I can do right now
It doesn't mean I don't have mental illness it means i'm doing the best I can with what I got
