Then go barf, I don’t frankly give a shit. Your work situation apparently is so garbage that you feel that everyone’s is. No, mine has always been very supportive, from the top down to my level. I’d put my team up against any team out there because they give a shit about how I’m doing personally. We’ve gone through a lot, and we have respect for each other on a personal level.

My previous job though? Yes. Abso-fucking-lutely was toxic. I did that for 23 years. I have plenty of perspective on this and have seen other colleagues in other organizations having similar situations. Mine isn’t and I would always try to give my team a heads up when I won’t be available.

Maybe start with getting a job that respects you as an individual first before telling me I should just ditch work.
