Thought #75: Sick-Leave Guilt and the Real Heroes of the Exit

Veröffentlicht am

The toxic nature of modern work really shows when people take sick leave or vacation: employees carry work phones on holiday out of sheer guilt or offer to stay available on WhatsApp while bedridden with a fever. When workplaces are governed by arbitrary rules and guilt trips, talking about living in a free democracy is a farce.  

Christina and Laura from the Anti Hustle Club are absolute heroes in my book. They walked off the treadmill without a safety net or corporate backing. I wish them the best, and I hope we can help build real alternatives so people never have to sell their souls to a 9-to-5 again.
