Burnout caused by work-related stress is now recognized by WHO as a valid condition. Since 99% of AT&T workers probably have it, we'll probably have to take turns in taking sick leave to recover.

Many area managers still tell people they have to use vacation days when they are sick and many folks believe them. Just contact HR.
WHO classifies gaming disorder as a mental disorder.

The World Health Organization made video game addiction an official mental health disorder.
So, if we're going to use the WHO, I guess gamers can now claim disability, so that they can stay home and play games? 😜
This B# needs to stop.
WTF are you talking about? In Illinois management and union members get paid for time they take of for being sick. First 5 days are paid at full rate. After that you have to be on disability. And no this is not vacation time.
Unless you live in CA!
Good advice.
You can get up to 60 days if paid stress leave if you do it the right way. Basically have to have symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, unable to sleep and lacking the ability to concentrate. I believe you have to go through EAP to do it. If you decide to do something like that, do not claim that you feel violent either towards yourself or others because that puts you on a much different path.
Must be management, no sick days and whining about it. Would you like some cheese with your whine?
Buck up soldier....
Big baby!
