I have work trust issues… when ever someone says they have a doctors appointment I assume they’re going on an interview and I start preparing for life without them. Is that bad?

Yes. If you really are concerned about losing them, why not have regular check-ins to transparently discuss what is working well/what isn’t/what they need to progress within the agency and work toward providing said needs to retain them.

Yes, and if you don’t trust them enough to let them do the things they need to do, it’s guaranteed to be a self fulfilling prophecy

I got in trouble for taking too many doctor’s appointments. I had actual health issues and most of my appointments were after 6pm. Stopped going to the doctor. Got sicker and missed work more and was let go. Don’t judge people for taking care of themselves

I ask my employees to schedule their dr visits responsibly to respect the rest of the team. I'm very liberal with time off regarding life, family, home and personal issues. Trust me, I have my own bad days. When it comes to time off, I ask them to check in with everyone on the team, out of respect. Keep an eye on it. But challenge them to be accountable to the rest of the team. We fight in the trenches. And we are only as good as the person standing to our left and our right.
