Apologize for misreading you and getting frustrated. I appreciate the explanation. I hope you can understand where I am coming from.
If I am anxious or depressed, going outside into nature or to the beach would help me tremendously. Much more so than sitting at home. How anxious and depressed do I have to be before it flips from "relaxing" to "legit"?
At my job I get x vacation days and y sick days. If I feel I unwell mentally I am going to use a sick day. Why is it anyone's business why I am sick or what I did on my sick day?
If my coworker said they were feeling terrible yesterday so they took the day off to go to the beach I would understand and encourage that. I would also admire them being brave enough to admit that rather than pretend they had a virus.
- unionpivo 5y agoYou get as many sick day's as you need, but if it longer than 2 (or maybe 3 I forgot) days, you need note from doctor. > If I am anxious or depressed, going outside into nature or to the beach would help me tremendously. If you are feeling that semi regularly, you might be on your way to a burnout or actually experiencing one.
- confidantlake 5y agoOh yeah absolutely feeling that. 2 weeks of vacation for years on end has done that to me. Planning on interviewing and trying to get a start date as far out as I can. (maybe 3 months or even 6 months if they are ok with that).
- rendall 5y agoI agree, confidentlake. You should be able to take time off of work to relax if you need. And, if the only outlet the US culture allows is to call in sick, then there's nothing wrong with doing that!
