I called out for a mental health day today because I’ve been working 60-hour weeks and I’m at my breaking point. My manager actually sighed over the phone and asked if I realized how much this would hurt the rest of the team. Now I’m spending my day off feeling guilty and anxious instead of actually resting. Why do toxic workplaces make you feel like taking care of yourself is a personal attack on the company?

The manager should feel bad that they’ve curated a team that only achieves based on being overworked and guilt-tripped. Not sure what you actually said about the day off, but it’s none of their business. You have days, take them, and enjoy them. Working on a Sunday is awful enough as it is.

I am so sorry to hear that. I had a manager like that at my last role and it was awful. If you called in, she would blow up your phone all day asking if there was any chance you might make it in. You should be able to take a sick day without being treated like a criminal.
