Do you ever take sick days?

Is it just me or does anyone else NEVER take sick days? I think something in me is broken because I feel like I need to be working even when I feel like garbage.

Do you ever take a day off sick?

No shame in taking them when you really need them, by that I mean you are sick and need the day to sleep and Dr has approved it.

If I cannot sit up long enough to be productive and/or cannot focus on the computer screen without wanting to throw up, I'll take a sick day.

Not often, but I have no issue taking one. If I'm at the point where I'm in and out of the bathroom all day/I can't hold a convo without coughing/sneezing/my throat feeling like fire, OR I'm feeling mentally burnt out to the point where I have zero patience or interest in working, I'll take a sick day.

In this pandemic I think it should be mandatory. 

However, if I’m working from home I never rest (and was literally prospecting from the hospital and ambulance this year 😂 - NOT COVID RELATED)

I take them when I really need them. For me a sick day means I’m really sick because if it was just the sniffles I’ll probably just work from home and maybe rearrange a few meetings. I don’t agree with SalesPharoah about Dr approval. Just take it if you really need it - life and work will go on.

Timely. Had to take one yesterday. Childcare issues. Led to a nice short workday from 8 til midnight to catch up.

Knock on wood I haven't been sick in over 2 years cold showers and exercise, but it's sales after all, no work, no sales, no pay. Different story if you have salary built in and you also don't want to get others sick so there is that..

I rarely take an official sick day. If I'm really sick, I'll get on required meetings and avoid unnecessary work.

We are IN a pandemic... Stay the fuck home. If you feel the need, work from bed. It's 2021, the steam powered loom doesn't need you physically in the factory.

I used to, but with WFH it's easy to just kind of take a slack day to rest up when necessary.

TAKE SICK DAYS. If none of us take sick days then it screws all of us.

I won't take it for a cold but pre-COVID, I was always a big believer of do.not.come.to.the.office.when.you're.sick. It's selfish and gets other people sick.

Not really. I WFH...so unless I'm in REALLY bad shape, I can usually buck up enough to sit in bed with my laptop. Maybe I push meetings to another day, if I sound bad.

Right now we do weekly but we’re around a year old, so it’s key, especially when we’re all in different corners of the globe and timezones
