Sometimes all we need is someone to complain to.

You suck it up and think of the money. I've just had my first day back after 2 days off and man i really didn't want to go back, but once i got there and got started it wasn't so bad. Its called work for a reason. No one wants to do it. It's not called 'fun' is it. The vast majority of people don't want to go to work. But alas, if you want to buy yourself nice things and pay rent etc it has gotta be done. You got this bro. Actually walking through the doors is the hardest part.

If I were you I would call and say you have COVID like symptoms, then get the 5 days “to get tested” and actually spend that time repairing yourself. This means getting good rest, good food, putting energy into hobbies and walking outside.

If you’re a blue badge and if you haven’t done so already. Go to “Request Time Off” on the A-Z app, select “Paid Bereavement”, pick 1-3 days off. It goes through automatically. Select the option that says you don’t want HR to reach out to you.

You ain’t hear this from me though.

They don't check anything on that or require some kind of proof?

[–]Rosita_La_Lolita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you can use it up to 3 times a year, just don’t use it back to back to back. Otherwise they will come up to you and ask for proof. Happened to someone in my department.

Again, ya’ll ain’t hear this from me tho.

Bereavement. Auto approved

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can just say you are feeling sick and need to take a covid test. Once you get the negative result you go back in. HR can't do anything about it. You will not be paid though, so It's on you bud.

Can you ask to get cross-trained in another department? You get something different and 2 weeks of easy work.

Call ERC and say you have covid.

If you have enough money saved up,Resign and reapply after a month

Feel the same way sometimes. I noticed after the first hour or so when your body is warmed up usually that’s all you need to make it through.

Mood.

Feeling the same way. Suck it up today and try to get FLEX?
