It gets even worse if you work as a nurse or day-care worker. Because you know the moment you take that break you overburden your co-workers and put the people under your care at risk.
I had to take a break yesterday from my daycare job, because I'm sick, pregnant and had to take care of my even sicker family. I had to take that break fully knowing I wouldn't be paid for it and that I would spend the next day fixing whatever my useless last minute replacement screwed up.
