    Imagine having a set amount of days you’re allowed to be sick and are expected not to use them when you actually are sick.

    The US is not failing. It has always been fucked up.

    You make my current government look reasonable even when it’s making using healthcare as much of an annoyance and throwing as many obstacles in your way as possible.

      I have a set amount of sick days too unfortunately.

      180 days in a year. After that the government says tough luck, work or starve.

        Won’t happen here either. If you are sick, your employer has to pay your regular salary for six weeks. After that, your health insurance pays Krankengeld (usually 70% of your gross salary) for up to 72 more weeks. After that, unemployment insurance covers you.

        Half the year? Is this satire? 😂

        I’m part time, and if I don’t miss anything, I “earn” 19 hours of “vacation time” / PTO a year. There is no “sick time” at all. 😂
