@howtoconvince: You don’t need to sound sick to take a sick day. Clear notice beats overexplaining every time 🤝 #communicationtips #workplaceconfidence #professionalboundaries #mindsetshift #assertivenessskills
As a manager- once my team starts explaining I stop them and say don’t need details. Thank you for letting me know!! 🙏❤

I was sick, I called in and my manager hung up on me (the first day). The second day I was still sick in bed. I called in and he demanded a doctor note. I asked if he was paying for the doctor visit and he said no. So I said no I quit. I didn’t want to work for a place that treats people so poorly.

As a manager- I have my team just text me saying “can’t make it in today” i make sure they are safe but other than that I don’t need or require details about why. I never understood the “explanation “ part of calling in.
