30/06/25 - Breakfast Bites: Do you feel “MC Guilt” when you need to take a sick day?We've all probably experienced this before: waking up to a splitting headache, you are down with a bad cold, or you're just not feeling well. What do you do? Do you take the sick day you're entitled to, or do you find yourself feeling bad, and you end up soldiering on?
If you're in the latter group, you're definitely not alone. In fact, there’s a name for this weird feeling we get: MC guilt.
Audrey, Ryan and Emaad talk about whether they suffer from this "ailment", and how experts suggest we deal with it.
