Why does work make you feel bad for being so sick you can’t work?
I am livid at the response i received from my Deputy Manager for being unable to work today. Can i help having an inflamed throat, fever, cough and migraine? NO.
Yet she still said i didn’t give “enough notice” (over an hour before my shift started) and saying “Now i need to find a full day cover for you!” because another massage therapist is sick too.
Well i wonder why??? there’s a flu going around that i contracted from my co-workers, family AND clients!! don’t get me started about them coughing through a full body massage in an enclosed space!
This “well-ness spa” they like to advertise, makes you sick! They would rather have you coming in, spreading things around, or having sick people come in and making you feel awful.
Add that with 6 hours of treatments is disgusting!! At the end it’s all about money for them, which i get but they just book too many clients in and not enough backup. F THEM.

- Some companies will force you to work so hard under such high stress over such a long period of time that it makes you physically ill.
And then they fire you for taking the time off to recover (that you were entitled to via your work contract). - Workplaces everywhere are like this. Try to make you feel guilty for taking a sick day when you’re Ill… Wanting you to come in for that bottom dollar.
- Because, to them, you aren’t a human. You are a resource for use in making profit. You ever get frustrated or angry when a computer or something else isn’t working right or breaks when you need it? That’s how they feel when you get sick and try to take a day off.
- You are definitely not the only one. As to why they do it. Thats simple without you they cant make a wage.
