I’ve had back to back 8 hr cleaning shifts and another today and then before that other days I’m just so tired my body hurts it was just a few weeks ago I had to call in I feel guilty but I can’t even imagine getting in my car and driving there in two hour and staying for 8 more hours of like physical labor but I haven’t been doing all that good lately and I don’t want them to hate me and think I’m lazy
So exhausted but feel guilty calling in what to do?

Your body is telling you it needs rest that’s not laziness, it’s self-care. One day off to recover is better than burning out completely. Call in if you need to. You can’t pour from an empty cup.
You’re in a tough spot. It’s important to honor your own boundaries, even when you want to be supportive.
You can offer empathy without fully aligning with her choice. Acknowledge her struggle, but don’t endorse or feign understanding. Staying true to yourself will maintain authenticity in the long run.
