So can non-disabled people stop doing that thing where they act like itâs morally righteous to force yourself to work while youâre sick and assume taking sick days automatically equates to laziness. Any time now. Thatâd be great
The leader of the scout group I help out at approached me out of hours while I was walking to work to tell me that people have been talking behind my back because I missed more sessions than I attended this term (on account of having Covid twice) and was like âWe all show up when weâre sick because we take responsibilityâ and I felt really shitty and guilty and cried the whole workday then I got home and told my mum and she was like âSo they want you to throw up on the kids? Thatâs dodgy. They donât even pay you. Stop goingâ and a wave of serenity hit me like a bus
