When you die your job will be advertised by the end of the day. Live your life not your job

More the fact you get scrutinised for being off sick. I’m afraid to call in sick cause of how they react over the phone about it. Plus you can only have a certain amount of sick days before it bites you on the ass and you end up getting a meeting because of it.

Well when Statutory Sick Pay is as LOW as it is no one can afford to be off sick.

The Bradford Factor has turned sick leave in to a punishment. You are worse off having an odd day off here and there than a whole week.

It’s not about being sick enough. It’s about not getting paid for being off sick!

it's got nothing to do with if your ill enough. companies use the Bradford factor and discipline you for sick days putting your job at risk. the pressure forces ppl to go in even if they are severely ill.

Sick pay is all good and well until it is used against you during a redundancy consultation because you once had a week off with the flu.

That’s not the reason it’s genuinely because people’s lives will collapse money wise as life is too expensive to take a day off 👍

I’m a teacher, and taking a day off it basically more work than taking the day off. It’s so toxic, sometimes I’ll be ill but just think it’s not worth it

courts🫶🏼🤍 :
the bradford factor shouldn’t be in use in high risk for illness settings such as nurseries. for us to have the same illness limits as office workers is insane

CharAndHerBag 🤍 :
sick leave is great for us chronically ill, but we feel guilty and not believed when we use it. when im in a flare I will work from home, the only time I will take my sick days is when im admitted to hospital

Think it’s so outdated ideology that we should push through illness to go to work. We have one life and if you’re lucky enough to have sick pay take it

I worked in a factory and one woman came in with flu or something and refused to go home. One by one we all dropped like flies.

And this isn’t a flex. You don’t sit there at the end of it all and praise yourself for working too much. There’s more to life than

Arctium-Rose :
the calling on sick and being sick isn't the issue, it's the way some companies track those illnesses... like the Bradford factor... short term illness is graded so harshly smh

In Your Face :
£20 sick pay no thanks I will struggle on in work instead and if they don't like it then pay me my full daily rate, I'm not dedicated to my job at all I just don't want loose money

Personally I think it’s because people would rather have days off when they aren’t ill and call in then

I work in a small shop if I can’t make it into work and no one else can cover the shop closes. But then if I’m coughing or sneezing on the till I get nasty looks 😂 you genuinely can’t win
