I feel bad right up until I hit send and then close the laptop. Then I forget why I felt so bad.
Let me put it this way. I’d rather have my team feeling good and working hard and miss a day or two here and there as opposed to perfect attendance but feeling crummy and working at 70%. Rest and come back when you can give me 100-120%.
It’s Friday 😅
Would you rather get everyone else sick? Small sicknesses can turn into bigger issues that could have been dealt with by taking a sick day.
So long as it’s not on a Monday or Friday you should be fine
Work from home, make up the hours another day/weekend, or see if a coworker has availability. Use the flexibility of public accounting. Communicate the game plan with your direct reports, follow through, and you’ll be fine. It’s only perceived poorly when when you’re only thinking of yourself. I haven’t encountered a situation where someone is viewed negatively for taking a sick day during busy season and when they are proactive about it.
