Why So Many First Responders Are Taking Sick Leave

For decades, first responders were taught that never calling in sick was a badge of honour. No days off. No complaints. Just “push through.” In this conversation, Randall Arsenault, known aka ‪@OfficerArsenault‬ sits down with former firefighter Dave Connor to talk honestly about why that mindset is changing - and why it needs to change. They discuss: -Why police, firefighters, and paramedics are finally using sick leave -How outdated “attendance culture” puts coworkers and the public at risk -The hidden impact of sleep deprivation, trauma exposure, and burnout -Why many experienced first responders choose family over special units -How trauma-related sick time and compensation/presumptive claims -Why no one retires wishing they worked more hours This isn’t about being lazy. It’s about survival, longevity, and doing the job safely - for 30 years. If you’re a first responder, a supervisor, or someone thinking about joining emergency services, this is a conversation you need to hear.
