Thanks to the COVID infection I already had and some other illness, I have no sick time left. So if I get it again, I have to take the entire time I’m sick unpaid.
Now I’m lucky in that I can work from home and would do so while able but contagious, and we can afford me to take a few days off unpaid, but plenty of people are in my situation and can’t afford a single unpaid day.

Is this a US thing I’m too European to relate to?
That’s horrible. Social darwinism at its finest.
A numbered amount of sick days is such a stupid concept. I’m glad I have as much as I need.
Agreed, but it’s pretty standard in U.S. businesses- if they give sick time at all.
You guys are really getting fucked over there
