Buy Clock In: emilydurham.org/clockin You’re scared to take time off. Not because you’re “so busy.” Not because the timing is bad. Not because your job is uniquely demanding. You’re scared. In this episode, we’re talking about the real reason employees avoid taking sick days and vacation — even when they’re burned out, exhausted, or literally sick. From unused PTO and presenteeism to work anxiety and fear of being replaceable, we’re unpacking why so many high performers would rather work sick than log off. If you’ve ever: Logged on while sick Left paid time off unused Felt guilty booking vacation Told yourself “now’s not a good time” for the 12th time This one’s for you. We’ll break down the psychology behind taking time off, the workplace culture that fuels burnout, and what it actually signals when you’re afraid to step away.
