I honestly just need a day at home. If I ask to wfh tomorrow do I have to say why or can I just leave it open ended as “do you mind?”

If you’re actually going to work from home, tell them why it’ll make you more productive (i.e. “I don’t have meetings today and have a lot of independent writing to do so I’d be less distracted if I worked from home tomorrow”) hope that helps!

asking to WFH opens the door for them saying no...

is there a formal wfh policy? if you definitely want to be home you should call in sick and say you'll WFH when you can. food poisoning is a good one for a 24 break. you'll be better by monday.

Call in for a sick day, or let them know you’re going to be work from home as you need to be there to let in and be there for (maintenance / utility / whatever) workers

I’ve told my boss I just need a day not at the office. We do have a wfh policy but he and I have a solid relationship and he’s always supportive so I just tell him the truth. But if you can’t just say you don’t feel well and you’re working from home. You can pull that card every now and then. You have the right.

If you’re actually going to work from home just don’t want to be in office I’ve had people say they had a flood, were expecting repairmen, etc. If u are burnt out and want a mental health day just call in sick.
