NSF ASKS WHY PEOPLE LOOK DOWN ON HIM TAKING MC IN NS, KENA MARK BY EVERYONE

MC looked down upon in NS?

I was posted to a vocation and had a wisdom tooth surgery which was scheduled months before. I had 5 days mc due to the wisdom tooth and when I came back, I was warned by a senior NSF at the request of the in charge.

He told me that I should not take a lot of mc or the people in the team will not like me and won’t even let me take breaks because of it. I was kind of shocked as the mc was valid and wasn’t the typical “Geng”.

2 months later, I had an x ray which turned out to be quite a severe case which may result in a surgery and was given 2 days mc.

I informed the team and was expecting a gws replies but the in charge told me I should have checked it on an off day and told everyone in the group chat to make sure to do everything on my off days as it will disrupt work. (Hinting at me).

After being told that, I went and ask the doctor to cancel my mc and told the in charge. He then deleted the message about the off days and started to act worried for me, saying I shouldn’t work.

These really affected my morale as I don’t want to be seen as “Geng” or mc a lot. I am stuck in the team for the next 2 years.

Is this normal for everyone else? Or am I being unreasonable?

Netizens’ comments

1. MC is MC, it’s always valid. Don’t let anyone psycho you into thinking otherwise.
   Anyone who criticises someone for taking MC for legitimate reasons is just trying to get them to not take MC so they can help with work.
   No work is more impt than your health.
   But ofc don’t take MC too often also la, that one goes without saying.
2. Please don’t let cosplay get in the way of medical treatment.
3. Just take the MC, f them. Never take MC on an OFF day, reap as much benefit for yourself. You’re not there by choice anyway.
   However, that doesn’t mean you should make things hard for your higher up, as I can guarantee you that he can make your life shit for the next 2 years. It’s kind of a mutual exchange, if you want to disappear for 1 week, make sure 1 week worth of work is done and no one needs to ‘cover up’ for you. Because if something is due in 2 days and you suddenly MC, it’s a pain to deal with.
