As an American who has been abroad for many years, can confirm! I'm visiting the states at the moment and its crazy to hear a family member talking about trying to convince their boss that the employees should get five paid sick days a year instead of only three. Three! A year! Insane.

Or do you turn up, shit yourself, then get fired?

Last year was super shitty, I had COVID twice and Shingles with nerve pains, I've been on sick leave for more than a month over the year, it would have been a disaster without socialized healthcare and workers' insurance
