Mine is - DO NOT go to the building you work at. Like if you’re a retail worker, it is not wise to go to the store you work at or the restaurant. Because they see you come in shopping for whatever reason, they’ll possibly be on your ass about you being able to come in and shop but not work that day.
Uhh am I misinterpreting what “a day off” means? If I take a day off the I so whatever I please. Why would my employer care? When I worked at the store I’d still visit the store on my off days. And at my current work I’d absolutely share it whenever I did something nice on my day off. Or do you mean sick leave or something?
Are you talking about calling in sick, or taking PTO? Because I’ll be damned if anyone is gonna jump my ass over spending my earned time off as I please.
If I call in sick, I usually just stay at home and freak out all day about someone from work coming by.
If it’s a sick day, by god do not touch ANY of your social media. Your boss (or worse, the office/shop/site brown-noser) will check.
If it’s a sick day I definitely check my social.media and will even check work-teams every few hours.
I will talk to my boss or my boss-boss on teams during a sick day.
Union.
When I was a kid my moms rule was no video games on sick days. When I’m not feeling well and I take a sick day I don’t play games. I may watch movies or otherwise have screen time but I actually feel like not engaging with gaming makes me more restful and helps me get better faster.
That rule was designed to discourage you from faking it.
