  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 2 weeks, as if people are capable of controlling how often and how long they’re sick for.

    Before the Rona times, people would legit flex on how dedicated they were to their jobs that they didn’t see their families as much. That’s not a joke. The work culture in the states has been absolutely toxic for ages. I’m fucking stoked it’s changing.

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

    I get 10 days a year on a sliding window. So if I call in sick in June, I won’t get that day back until June. It’s bullshit.

  I saw a documentary where a German millionnaire was bragging about going to work with 43° flu to make you believe that he worked very hard to get rich.

    Only reason to do that is to pass the bug to those who set the bad policy.
