I tried to schedule my appts for either really early or late aftn to miss as least amount of work as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-about-taking-time-off#post-374652 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 10:36:42 +0000 DpeachLu 374652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Anytime I text my boss that I am not feeling well and so on I just get a response with an "OKAY." I know I am probably over thinking it but really... just an okay?! not an okay feel better... or so on? I RARELY and I mean RARELY call in sick. I have worked here for over 4 years have no paid time off, sick days.. it really sucks. :-(.<br /> Luckily I haven't had to take time off for LO yet besides having to leave half day once a month for her baby well check ups and her physical therapy which I go out of my way to try and schedule on the same day.<br /> &amp; I even feel guilty for leaving early on those days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-about-taking-time-off#post-374639 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 10:31:59 +0000 tororojo 374639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if you have time off to spend, you shouldn't feel guilty about taking it! I have had jobs that tried to guilt us into not using time off--my current work does a little bit, but not too bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-guilty-about-taking-time-off#post-374427 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 08:51:08 +0000 autumnlove 374427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is my number 1 priority but I do worry if my boss thinks I take too much time off when LO is sick! Do you worry? </p>
