My suggestion: Simplificatio Adstupefaciendi - A simplification with the purpose to astonish.

On top of sounding cool it is already astonishing to remember and to be able to spell it!

Basically you are expected to either just go in sick or take the day and not be paid. Also if you take the day, depending on how bad your boss is they could try to call you a no call/no show. A strike at best or a reason for termination at worst.

This is really an off my chest moment but when I was in my teens I went out with my aunt and she pulled this. I felt terrible for making the staff do extra work just so she could have fresher and warmer fries. I get it isn’t a big deal to make an extra batch, but what if two people pull this? Five? Ten? More?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people around me tend to increase their responsibility load (i.e. have children, become a manager, do charity, etc.) while I (30M) try to avoid it as much as I can?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Hello, someone who went to a manager position here! I’m 100% with you, decreasing responsibility means decreasing stress and so is always a priority! However, there are a few reasons one might shoot for the moon anyway.
1. Ambition. This is the obvious one, some people just want more. More money, more power, more prestige. That is a valid reason to push further but isn’t for everyone.
2. Empathy. Yep you read that right! Ambition isn’t the only driving force to take on more responsibility. Empathy can lead people to see the ways to improve others’ lives, workloads, and more!
3. Accidents. Especially with children but also in other areas, accidents happen and can often leave people with more on their shoulders than expected.
I personally am mostly number 2. I saw the terrible leadership that my team has had in the past and the ways I could assist my team to improve. I knew all the complaints and had ideas to fix them so I took the responsibility bullet so they don’t have to.

I hope this helps you see into the mind of someone who accepts responsibility, even if it means more stress and less freedom!
