That happened in one of my old companies. Doctors note for everything. So instead of one day off sick, people would ask for doctors note for 5-10 days off.

The policy quickly changed back.

    You've clearly never been a patient with a German doctor.

    In Germany, they're colloquially called "gods in white coats".

    If you EVER asked a doctor to give you a note for X days, you would not be happy with the result. They tell you what you need, not the other way around.
