So I’m feeling pretty bad, guilty and on top of that extremely tired and well, poorly.

How’s your day/night going?

    Let go of the guilt and get fucking angry man.

    How fucking abusive is this shit they’re pulling on you??

    Please let go of the guilt, get angry at these fuckers, and if you can, find a job that respects you. (I know, that’s harder than it sounds, I don’t have one either).

    But you deserve respect for your real life problems, and this endless charade of making people work sick is literally killing us.

    We went through a worldwide pandemic and learned jack fucking shit about letting people stay home ill.

    Please, for the love of god, document everything, get angry, and use that anger to get constructive.

    Because you, nor anyone else, ever deserves to feel guilty for this absolute horseshit.

    If you are in the US, diabetes is covered by the Americans with disabilities act and there are laws governing what kind of accommodations your employer is legally obligated to make for you.

    Diabetes comes with needing extra or extended sick time and is not likely an unreasonable accommodation for your employer to make.

    Know your rights before your talk to them

    Hello boss, thank you for bringing in boss’ boss as well, I appreciate it.

    So, boss, I understand you wanted to talk to me about my attendance due to being sick for several days and taking an unpaid day off. Before we get started, I’d like you to think carefully if what you have in mind to say would be a good look for the company, should someone in the press publish our conversation. Not that I’m threatening to go to the press! Ha ha ha no, of course not! It’s just… well, what with COVID and all, I imagine people would wonder what could possess a person to penalize someone for taking a sick day. Why, they’d wonder about the competency of a manager that couldn’t adjust to an employee taking ill. They’d wonder what dangers the company would submit it’s customers to, seeing as they care so little about their employees.

    But if course, that’s not why we’re here today, I’m sure! So what was it you wanted to discuss?
