- 8Why do I feel so guilty for taking a sick day?Taking time off triggers overwhelming anxiety about leaving behind classroom disruptions, uncompleted student work, and extra burdens on colleagues. This constant worry prevents teachers from resting and recovering, leaving them haunted by the thought of what is going wrong while they are away.
- 5Can a first year teacher ask for time off?Asking for multiple days off shortly after starting a new job causes significant anxiety because employees worry about how the request will be perceived so soon. This fear leaves new workers hesitant to email administration and unsure about what amount of time off is acceptable.
- 3How to decide if I'm too sick for workPeople feel pressured to go into work while sick because they are afraid of missing major events like Open House, have to ration limited sick time for their own children, or worry about how their absence looks. This forces them to choose between risking their coworkers' and kids' health or sacrificing attendance at important professional and family obligations.
