I wanted to today as well but the work would only pile up for me the next day which is even a busier day.

I really hate that I feel I can't be off sick because of that.

That's the reason I've taken like 5 sick days in 9 years and am drowning in excess annual leave.

Every day off I take results in about 1.2 days of extra work I need to catch up on when I get back 🫤

At least I'm very often solo in the office so my presenteeism doesn't get others sick.

Yeah, this year the way things have fallen, my monday and tuesdays are loaded and if I'm not there the work just piles up.

The person I work with, while our roles differs, just leaves the massive backlog for me to maintain and this places so much pressure on me if I take the day off when I have a scheduled workload.
