I swear leaving America seems like leaving an abusive relationship.

How "limited" sick days actually work? What happens if you are sick for longer than your "limit"?

I think the Americans get confused. So - unlimited medical leave - means it’s issued by a doctor. And yes, it can be 2 weeks for a flu or 5 days for a cold, but it’s issued by the doctor and paid for by the country, not the company.

This was me and my German coworker the first time I got sick here. She was like "I understand you're American but please go to the doctor". The doctor made me stay home for a week 🙃

When I first moved to Canada, I was extremely confused that they gave me 5 days where I was "allowed to be sick". We sometimes had people out sick for weeks in Germany.

An additional fact; when you get sick on vacation days, you can get the vacation days back with a doctors note 😌

Psychologists must be a profitable profession in the US, the system there gives the entire population PTSD from birth.

In Finland you also get paid sick leave and they cannot fire you due to your illness. Many companies don’t even require a doctor’s note for short illnesses like a cold.

Did you know that you can also call in sick if your child is sick and you have to care for it? :)

The only unlimited days Americans get is “unlimited” Paid Time Off days so that the employer doesn’t have to pay out when they leave.

That’s not quite true. No employer tells you to take two weeks off sick. Usually, they just send you home for the day, expecting you to be healthier and back at work the next day.
