Have you ever used a sick day when you weren’t sick? (Please read)

Question

Have you ever used a sick day at work to go somewhere, like an amusement park or on a trip, or taken a sick day just to relax at home (like a mental health day)?

Answer

Mental health days are totally necessary especially if you know you won’t be able to keep yourself together at work anyways.

Answer

We use our sick time for both physical illness and mental health days and are well encouraged to do so by management all the way up the chain. We do not call out sick to go do something fun because we couldn’t get the day off otherwise. That is absolutely not tolerated and you are yeeted straight out of a job quickly for that kind of bullshit. We are expected to plan and use our generous PTO (that isn’t sick time) to do fun stuff. 4 weeks vacation time plus a week of personal starting out is more than sufficient to plan your day at an arcade 🤨

Answer

Mental health day still is sick day. Doesn’t mean that your body doesn’t feel bad, you can’t feel bad mentally.

Answer

I work for myself and i take a lot of relaxing days lol

Answer

Yes. I don’t live to work. I work so I can live. If I want a day off or a vacation, I go on one. If I wake up and I am mentally just not with it and I want to be in bed, I’ll take the day. Some days my victories are snuggling with my cats and making sure they are fed. Other days … I am ready to freaking go. But as a rule for myself, I will not work until I drop. I will take days off because that’s healthy.

Answer

For my job, they are called health days and you get two in a year. If you don't use them you lose them...
So I have taken spa days at the end of the year to use them up, yes.

Answer

No, but not because its wrong. We have specific mental health days and a lot of PTO days, not sick days. They don't care why we are gone. It's all the same.

Answer

My vaca and sick is combined. Pto, paid time off. Doesn’t matter what I use it for

Answer

Oh most definitely

Answer

Yes i was invited to a sold out concert last minute after someone dropped out. The seats were near the front and I couldn’t afford to buy tickets the day the went on sale. I didn’t want to miss that opportunity. Thanks to covid that band hasn’t toured the UK since 2018 so I’m glad i took the day off
