A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Is this something I'm too European to understand?

Yes. American work culture is bonkers. Most places have a limited number of sick days, if they have health PTO at all. In my experience, if they offer it it's usually 2 weeks worth, as if people are capable of controlling how often and how long they're sick for.

I’m just not allowed to get sick. Simple!
