Why do mental health days not exist in the work place…I suffer through work on those days because I’m chronically ill and I’m terrified I’ll use them

Normalize mental health to your employer? Not in this capitalist economy! Protect yourselves, folks. You’re at-will employees.

Realistically you WILL be seen as less capable and reliable if you do this… Especially if you’re a women. It is absolutely not a good idea… not yet.
