@Kalshann@mastodon.social Two... years? Two... YEARS? TWO YEARS? I have been sick and working (in America) for four fucking years, and there's a decent chance if I had a few months off I could find a proper treatment and get better. TWO YEARS! I knew we were bad off, but holy fucking shit.

@Azuaron@cyberpunk.lol It's fucking insane. And it's not just the bosses either - the health care "system" is so broke, it's taken my gf a whole year to get her insurance to let her see a gp, much less deal with her problems. I'm sorry about your trouble though. It's absolutely horrifying and depressing.

@Azuaron@cyberpunk.lol @Kalshann@mastodon.social and in the first two weeks of sickness no need to present a certificate or other medical statement. In my company the sickness rate is around 3-4% since some years, so this means people are calling sick only when really necessary or work from home if not 100%. So yeah, it seems to work, even better than in other European countries where the certificate is compulsory after the first day and people are forced home by their GP for several days..
