Mental health days at work โ€” who actually uses them?

My company says unlimited sick leave. In practice, taking mental health days is unofficially judged. Policy only works if culture follows.

The policy says one thing and the culture does another. I cancelled a mental health day when I felt peer pressure from my team.

Leaders set the tone. If the director never takes sick days, the whole team feels they cannot either.
