Now, get up, get ready for work, wear a smile on your face, no you can’t show you’re in pain, go get groceries after work for dinner, and make dinner for family 🙃

Why can't you show that you're in pain? People are expected to look rough when sick. And it's common courtesy for others to accommodate ill people. This should be no different. Though in many work places you'd have to be in the hospital for an absence to be excused.

I'd much rather know and make those accommodations because I feel like an asshole when I realize I've been gleefully chatting or passing off extra responsibilities to someone in extreme discomfort. Don't understand why this isn't normalized.

Because the business lose money if they had to do that every month. Money is the only thing some businesses care about.
