Our society requires us to show up sick
to work because we are only allowed so many rest days.
Our job performance is directly affected by the mental
and physical capacity we have when sick.
Yet we are still expected to perform flawlessly
because our presence is required.
Do you want another plague ridden body
or for the work to get done with less mistakes?
What is even worse is when the sickness is mental.
No boss will believe you need the day off
in order to recuperate from the mental exhaustion
your depression or anxiety has created.
Our society sucks!
