“This, or mysterious ailments that clear up half an hour after you call out.
I’ve left two jobs because I would legit feel like I was going to vomit every morning.
Peed on a stick nope, not pregnant.
I went to the doctor, had a battery of tests, and everything came back clean.
Nope, it was anxiety.
What really cinched it was being scheduled for a night shift.
Felt fine all day, but at about an hour before I had to go in mystery nausea.”

“I guess I’m putting in a novel answer: when you get a bad performance review.
That may not get you fired, but it gives you a hole to dig out of.
None of your current managers will comment negatively on you when you apply elsewhere.
In fact, they may happily give you a good reference so they can get you out the door.
Maybe they’re unappreciative assholes; maybe you needed to learn a lesson.
Either way, start over.”
