American Hustle Culture makes me sick 😑

At what point do we say enough is enough and find a way to balance it all out. It has to start from somewhere right.

This is the reason why I completely detest perfect attendance for kids in grade school. How is it possible that a child can never miss a day for being sick or late or even taking a day off because they need it.

We then carry that into our jobs as adults and just the same way, we never take time off even when we need it because we are striving to be perfect employees and neglecting ourselves.

I remember being so worried about asking for a day off when I worked my 9 to 5 job / cooperate America. I decided to go in even though I felt so sick because I didn't want to miss a day and ended up even worse. I was so sick (exhaustion, flu, fatigue, bronchitis) that I had to take a week off to heal. If only I had just taken that one day I would have been fine.

Same deal when I needed a day off because my son wasn't feeling well. The fear od taking one or two days off and who knows you may just get fired. I can't even think about how many Moms and Dads have to go through this.

I hate working to live and I hate Hustle Culture.
I said what I said 🤷🏾‍♀️
