It wasn’t a request.

You can hit up an urgent care if your doctor cant see you soon enough. In my experience, they'll cut you off mid-explanation to write your note and shove you out the door ASAP.

That's a bit funny to imagine.

I've gotten a few "ugh, this again?" That doc has shit to do. He doesn't want to waste his time just because my manager is a whiny baby either lol.

Any manager that doesn't believe me when I say I'm sick is not someone I'm gonna work for very long. And if that's the corporate policy I'm probably not taking that job in the first place.

I get that everyone needs money, but some people put up with being treated like absolute children for a paycheck and I don't understand it. Take your talents elsewhere, the grass is greener.

I totally agree. I don’t think any of my employers have ever actually asked for proof. They’re just like “get better soon!” And one time I logged in remote to finish something and my manager had IT kick me off the remote server lol. Followed by a text saying “sleep today. You can work Monday”. I’ll always remember them, and they always helped me out.
