My wife was so glad the other day when she told someone about me and they responded with: “Damn that sucks.”
-
“So how many sick days you usually take per year?”
-
yes
Oh just die already and stop bothering me with your problems…
is what I presume they are saying, whether they are aware of that or not.
Well, they are wishing that to/for you, which is technically nice; but otoh I am also very aware that many people are just dropping it to get out asap. So hm.
Well when you have a lifelong illness, it gets tiring real fast.
Imagine telling someone with an amputated arm “get better soon”. Same situation with telling someone with an incurable lifelong disease.
I understand, my wife has a chronic illness and she gets this stuff often enough too.
“When do you plan on getting a ‘real job’?”
When I won’t be fired for taking “too many sick days”, thanks.
(Hint: “too many sick days” = 3 - 4 max per year or so)
That doesn’t sound legal… Also wouldn’t anyone get fired pretty much the moment they get ill?
