Adam Grant posted about it being ok to call in sick but also to call in sad. Focusing on the aspect of self-care is something companies do not talk about nor do they truly embody this way of thinking.
Have you ever had to take time off for something other than being "sick"?
If yes how did you manage it and what advice can you give others to become more open and articulate in getting the self-care they need and asking for the time from their companies?
