If it’s unpaid, not a chance I am getting a doctors note. Although, what kind of dystopian country doesn’t have paid sick days?

I had my first real sickness for time off since I moved to Germany. I had a call with a doctor, they pushed a sick note into the digital health system, and my company noted it as paid time off.
Modern civilization in a developed nation rocks.
Now if we could just get the paperwork to die down a bit... Oh, and find a way to get the trains on time!

My coworker with sick days: I don't want to waste them, I want to go on a month vacation so I'm coming in sick and getting you all sick.
NZ: We're legally entitled to 10 days paid sick leave. If you're out for less than 3 consecutive days you can be asked for a medical certificate but your employer must pay for it. Even then I've never been asked for a medical cert.
this is an American problem I'm guessing
ETA: We've also got huge brain drain problems thanks to the 3 ring circus govt atm. So we could use a little immigration

Meanwhile in countries where you aren't beholden to your employer and health insurance, being paid when sick is just standard.
I actually did this during fucking Corona, and I still do it often, literally until they drive me away, because I'm that afraid of being accused of dodging work.
They brought it on themselves, I suppose.

The argentinian work law is being treated today. A "representative"* from one of the poorest provinces we have said something on the lines of "sick days are paid 50%, because the guilt shared"
Guilt? Guilt of what?

I have to use my PTO for sick days and that shit just ain't happening.
I once worked at a place that offered three vacation days per year. The only catch was, to use your paid days you had to work a separate shift for each day you took off. So ultimately if you wanted to have 3 days off, the week before and the week after you might not get a day off because of the extra shifts you had to work. Just how is that taking time for yourself again?
Unpaid sick days? Sucks to live wherever that is
Must be hell on earth to live in country that does not have paid sick days.
we got 2 weeks. boss noticed a friday/monday pattern. well duh
Me, watching you be a little bitch while I slash the manager's tires, put sugar in their gas tank, and [redacted], before going back home to crawl back in bed, feeling refreshed knowing that I made a positive difference today: 😊
