Have you ever finished a 12-hour day and still feel bad for logging off? I constantly worry about it, and it’s the part of being overworked people don’t talk about; when rest starts to feel like you’re letting someone down.
Has anyone else felt like this before? And how did you unlearn that?

All the time - I’m down with a really bad case of Covid and took two days sick leave - first days off this year and I feel guilty

Oh don’t even get me started about taking sick days… I’m my mind I’m like I can work from home so I can’t take sick days

My 2 cents… This is a perspective that has been ingrained in our heads by boomer & GenX parents, managers, etc., who have a “strong work ethic” (aka no boundaries) and are “old school” (meaning you take whatever your management dishes out without considering your own needs). As a Gen Xer, I wish someone had taught me to always consider my physical needs for rest and my family’s needs, too, before the needs of a corporation/management/employer.
