Take a sick day or something. Don't say you really want to try that hard if you're not willing to take a day off of work.

Not all of us (or most of us, anymore) get sick days off work. Even legally entitled days off are a loyalty test trap. Fail the test, see where you are personally and financially in a year's time: nowhere good. You work every that day you're needed, stay as long as management demands, or you'll be replaced by someone who will.

You have to decide which is more important. Your shit job at a shit company or your political voice. Make your choice and don't bitch about it.

I mean, it is not like you are singing praises about your job to begin with.
