Me: I’m not feeling well. Going to take a sick day.
Boss: Ok, feel better.
HR: You need a doctor’s note for the sick time to be approved.
Me: I just feel “blech” and need to rest.
HR: Doesn’t matter. We need a doctor’s note.
Me: [Slugs to urgent care, waits 3 hours to see a doctor]
Doctor: Just go home and rest.
Receptionist: That’ll be $35 for the co-pay.
Me: (twitch)
Yeah our healthcare sucks, but what’s worse is HR demanding a doctor note for one missed day. Yeah. That’s the infuriating part.
Get some rest op. Hope you feel better tomorrow.
I have to do that, otherwise I won’t get paid those days.
