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.

I’ve been seeing all of the Instagram and Linked In posts from agencies in town showing their “commitment to transparency in hiring” and to hire more minorities in light of the BLM movement. I knew the numbers were bad, but holy shit, not THAT bad.
It’s infuriating to me, as a POC how many fucking times I applied, emailed and reached out to so many of these agencies without getting even the time of day.
I’ll believe their supposed commitments, when I actually see the results.
