conv: My friend and coworker hasnt been showing up to work.  I try sticking up for him but its getting hard with him coming in once or twice a week. My friend and coworker hasnt been coming into work.  People are starting to talk but its hard to stick up for him when he only comes in once or twice a week. Is he sick or just being lazy? A little bit of both.  He has bad anxiety but he also has told me he just doesnt like going into work. I hope he can get the help he needs and maybe a job he enjoys more.
