      This is a dumb take imo. I work a salary job and I usually end up taking many extra “days off” per year by just working a couple hours, if that, and ducking out for a doctors visits or other errands. I also just call it a day a few hours early on occasion, when I’m feeling done. It all adds up.

      If I’m minority sick, I’ll absolutely just sit here and be unproductive on my computer as I peruse my phone, chat with friends, and wiggle the mouse between emails. Take advantage of the system as much as you can, because you know they are too.

      I don’t know what to tell people who clock in and out, or who are closely monitored for work hours tbh. I wouldn’t work one of those jobs, and if I ever found myself in one, I would be searching for a new job tirelessly which I felt respected my efforts and my contributions.

        Glad you have that privilege

          Privilege? It often takes me a year or longer, hundreds of applications, and at least three to five in-person interviews to finally land something. What’s privileged about working that hard for something so basic as a job?

            3-5, and you’re picking benefits of said job. Most are locked down so they cannot choose to quit.
