Comment on Gen Z is actually taking sick days, unlike their older coworkers. It’s redefining the workplace
Queen___Bee@lemmy.world 2 months agoI feel like religion/conservatism plays a role in this mindset. There’s a lot of pride in self-sacrifice and at least appearing “strong” in the face of adversity even if it’s regarding your health. Not that I agree with it at all. I’m all for unlimited such days and self-care.

Maybe religion, but also stupid views about “manliness” - it’s never the women saying it. To stay home sick is too be weak and it’s more masculine to keep working even though you’ve got a raging fever or whatever. It’s dumb.
