Mental health days

[BEATDOWNS]

Calling in for a mental health day. Even if that's not the reason you give but is the reason.

Yay or Nay?

 

[Sonny Qc]

what?

 

[Zinger]

I don't even know what that is.

 

[The Big Yin]

It's becoming very common at my work. I actually go into work for my mental health, I'd go stir crazy if I sat on my hairy arse at home all day

 

[Smokes]

Last time I use that as an excuse to not go to work, everyone laughed at me and called me a pussy. My boss told everyone that was the reason I called in and laughed too.

If they give it to you then you should use it. I push my girlfriend to use hers all the time.

 

[Oregonmma]

Big puss move tbh. Unless your mom just died or something like that.

 

[Zinger]

I don't even know what that is.

 

[My name is]

I'd instantly start looking for a reason to get rid of that person

 

[Sonny Qc]

I don't even think I missed a day of work in the last 5yrs
( that wasn't called for month in advance )

But, I'm that type of guy.
Will show up, even when it's counter productive.

 

[HARRISON_3]

Lots of companies offer those nowadays.

 

[Prelimtapper]

Like anything it depends, but I know several people who have abused it

What type of work do you do Sonny?

Pretty sure they would need a real reason, but I get where you're coming from.

You don't have to say that's the reason. You can just tell HR privately so your ass is covered. If it was HR laughing at you you'd be working for a pretty shitty company.

Man that's cold some people suffer from severe anxiety and depression but don't know how to deal with it properly. You'd just ice those people if they felt like they just need a day to themselves, like for real?

I think a lot of people feel that way sir, but mainly because that's how we were brought up.
I would feel weird callin in for that reason but if you actually need it, fuck what others think.

That wouldn't be possible i don't work at McDonalds

I worked masonry for a grip.
My wife's father just retired a few years ago from his civil engineering job.

He worked as an inspector for 45 years.
I enjoy physical labor, it's like therapy lol.
