Question

Yes all the time. I have autism and working is super exhausting for me. We're moving atm and it's a huge house that we're cleaning. I worked Thursday, Friday full days. Then two days rest then a whole week but with some breaks for appointments that I had. And then yesterday we started working again and I couldn't do it anymore. I had to say I'm gonna work half days from now on. So it took less than 8 days to wear me out. I'm 100% sick according to my doctor anyway but I'm still capable of working a bit but not this much. A good workload for me would be like 4 mornings a week that's something I could handle it also depends on the work of course. On a PC I get worn out less but any practical work is a problem. Not just because of the physical strain but also I'm not good at focusing on the right things and using my energy efficiently. So I clean some things extremely thoroughly and take a lot of time and then forget about others or so.

When I was working full time in an office it didn't wear me out as much as this work but I still needed to call in sick regularly because I just couldn't make it through the week. I would wake up and just feel like I'd already worked a full day and was completely exhausted and I just knew I couldn't do it and on the weekends I needed to sleep so much because I was beyond my limits. Eventually it led to burnout, depression and suicidal thoughts and I had to quit.

I want to make youtube videos and get an education in IT because those are things I can see myself being able to work in at least part time but I don't think I'll be able to work full time at any job. It's just too much.

I've taken a mental health day from time to time, but never an "I partied too hard last night" day. I'm luck in that while I'm allergic to alcohol (seriously) it doesn't stop me having a drink, but despite going scarlet from head to toe and itching until I want to peel my skin off to make it stop, I've never had a hangover the next day.

I live with chronic insomnia anyway, so fatigue doesn't usually stop me either - post-covid fatigue being a different matter, and I can feel the difference.

by the way, seriously hot outfit 😍

I mean, if you're so hung over you're vomiting, you're sick in my books.

But otherwise, not for a hang over, no.
Should've drank less before a work day. That's part of being responsible as an employee - knowing your limit, and having fun within it.

Mental health day? I've done it before. I've definitely had days when I woke up and, judging by my morning routine, would be in no shape to be seen by or interact with the general public - let alone clients.

However, part of that is my diagnosed Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I definitely have times when I'm a bit out of it, and shouldn't be dealing with certain tasks, or can't perform other tasks particularly well.

Red_Arrow · Answer

We have some people who suffer from "brown bottle flu". Not many as most have been fired, and the few left are likely to not last long. Putting yourself into the situation where you have to call in sick places the burden of doing your work (or share of the work) on others. You show others how little you care for them a few times and you will be gone.

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

Not because of a party the night before, but I once phoned in work to say I couldn't get outside my front door as there was a cow laying down outside stopping me from getting out..
I lived near a farm and they actually bought it. I went and played a round of golf instead. Ended up busting one of my clubs and the sole ripped apart from one of my golf shoes.

All in all, I'd have been better off going to work! :(

BCA6010 · Answer

No, and I have little to no respect for people who do. I'd honestly rather someone call in, tell me the truth, and ask to come in later or make up the time at a later date than to lie.

Also just another tip: don't EVER tell your coworkers when you pull a stunt like this. Even if you think they're your friends, they will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat.

K-I-S-S · Answer

Too much booze or?

I did go to work with a serious hangover when i was younger. And for me they last a really long time, about 10 hours. So the water machine became my best friend for that day.

Thankfully quit drinking at all 8 years ago now, one of the best decisions of my life
