Yeah, this year the way things have fallen, my monday and tuesdays are loaded and if I’m not there the work just piles up.
The person I work with, while our roles differs, just leaves the massive backlog for me to maintain and this places so much pressure on me if I take the day off when I have a scheduled workload.
I wanted to today as well but the work would only pile up for me the next day which is even a busier day.
I really hate that I feel I can’t be off sick because of that.
That’s the reason I’ve taken like 5 sick days in 9 years and am drowning in excess annual leave.
Every day off I take results in about 1.2 days of extra work I need to catch up on when I get back 🫤
At least I’m very often solo in the office so my presenteeism doesn’t get others sick.
