How do you go about asking for a mental health day? Some days I know I’m not going to be productive and just need a recharge day. But there always seems to be a lot going on.

Shoot an email early in the morning to your teams saying you’re taking a sick day. We have a unlimited so take however many you need. Or tell your teams you’ll be out of the office.

I mean just take the sick day and don’t feel bad lol. It’s just work. It’ll be there the next day and 1 day won’t set you or the team back by much or even at all. Unless you’re close to an important deadline

Agree with pwc1 - don’t ask for permission, just send a note letting the team know you’re taking a sick day and put that auto reply on baby!

I somehow always feel bad about taking time off when it’s very busy though. Even if I’ve done a lot of good work the rest of the time and haven’t taken much time off.

It's always going to be busy
