I’ve taken 3 sick days from work in a row, AMA

Bored so made this chat thread. Amuse me with your witty banter, or just ask me anything…
How much is each sick day costing your employer if you receive sick pay and costing you if you don't?

About £200/day it’s costing them i think. Zero remorse as their profits and revenue are crazy and i took a below market rate salary to come work for them.

Awe thanks :hugs:

Afflicted with an onset of anxiety and depression. It rears its ugly head every now and then and currently i am going through a bad spell. :frown: Once it passes i’ll be fine again, but whilst in the phase I struggle to function normally.

Btw, i thought everyone gets sick pay? Everyone except temp and contract staff?

How long does it usually last?

Do you have treatment for it?
Hope you improve soon.
Are you the person who watches reality TV like me or have I confused you with someone.

mafs = married at first sight. I watch the aussie one as it's the most entertaining.
