#32: Maintaining a Stable Work Environment is The Boss’ Responsibility

Taking a sick day is not a crime; it’s necessary for your health and the health of your colleagues. It’s ridiculous that some bosses make their workers feel guilty for taking time off when they’re sick. If you’re feeling unwell, you should stay home and rest. You’re not responsible for the lack of planning and foresight on the part of your boss.

They’re the ones who should be taking responsibility for ensuring that there is enough staff to cover shifts when someone is sick. So don’t feel bad for taking a sick day, and don’t let anyone make you feel guilty for looking after your health. Remember, your boss needs you more than you need them, and they should treat you with the respect you deserve.
