These aren't "feel good" stories, they're "we live in hell" stories. (64.media.tumblr.com)

Well, it's not like a significant part of the world is already working with "unlimited" sick days.

It's not really unlimited, anyway. You will need doctors notices (ofter after a few days), after a while some attestation from certain state doctors, after a while the money will be paid by your health insurance, after a while you will loose your job.

Not to mention that you forfeit chances for promotions and raises.

Taking enormous amounts of sick days won't be without consequences. Especially not if unjustified.

The difference is that I don't have a sickness budget.

If I'm sick, i'm sick.

If I'm suspiciously often sick, my employer will talk to me.
