8AM Couch Chat: Do You Use A Sick Day For A Mental Health Day?

A woman’s reasons for taking a few days off is stirring up some debate. A web developer sent her team an email telling them she’s taking two days off for her mental health… and hopes to be 100% refreshed after the weekend. Her CEO replied, thanking her… telling her “every time you do this, it’s a good reminder to use sick days for mental health”.

Are mental health days really needed? Or is she just working the system?
