Do you have a workplace agreement or something in place that details exactly what you need to do and when if you need a sick day or carer’s leave?

While this isn’t quite the same my workplace is majority female. I once told a story that when a manager here was being quite full on with asking why someone was away they got a detailed recount of the menstrual cycle and their period.

That manager stopped asking people why they were off sick.

It’s even more fun trying to communicate the full breadth of menopause to a 30 something male manager.

  In our latest EBA they asked for menopause leave, government said no 😑.

It’s shameful how 40% of sick days are on Mondays and Fridays.

  This doesn’t seem remarkable as stated given 2÷5=40%

That’s funny 🤣 I know our EBA did specify Mondays and Fridays were mandatory med cert so that’s no issue. Wasn’t expecting a 15m chat with manager asking about it though
