I encourage my subordinates to take advantage of their salary job and work a few hours in the AM, deal with their personal medical BS, and check their email at the end of the day to see if anything urgent needs to be addressed. I’d rather they work a little bit then take the whole day off. Save that time for a real sick day.
While I do agree the flexibility is good, it’s actually one of the reasons why people feel burned out, they always feel connected to something that caused them daily stress.
I’m pretty strict on “take your lunch, take your breaks, log off and stop checking email when you’re off-shift” I’ve burnt out once before and don’t need my team members going through that.
Other people at my company are always connected, responding to emails at 10pm. I’ve made people aware that my team doesn’t work that way and to call me if there’s an off-hours emergency before calling team members.
Oh boy, how dystopian.
Agreed, but you can’t not play the game and dead progressives don’t vote.
This is a dumb take imo. I work a salary job and I usually end up taking many extra "days off" per year by just working a couple hours, if that, and ducking out for a doctors visits or other errands. I also just call it a day a few hours early on occasion, when I'm feeling done. It all adds up.
If I'm minority sick, I'll absolutely just sit here and be unproductive on my computer as I peruse my phone, chat with friends, and wiggle the mouse between emails. Take advantage of the system as much as you can, because you know they are too.
I don't know what to tell people who clock in and out, or who are closely monitored for work hours tbh. I wouldn't work one of those jobs, and if I ever found myself in one, I would be searching for a new job tirelessly which I felt respected my efforts and my contributions.
Glad you have that privilege
Privilege? It often takes me a year or longer, hundreds of applications, and at least three to five in-person interviews to finally land something. What's privileged about working that hard for something so basic as a job?
3-5, and you're picking benefits of said job. Most are locked down so they cannot choose to quit.
