I'm rewatching king of queens and there is an episode where someone said: i have 6 sick days, and i'm not afraid to use all of them. How do you plan si k days? Are you just not sick anymore?
That is insane
Have you ever actually met a European? Most people I know have at least one savings account. Also (at least in Sweden) sickpay is usually paid for by your workplace for the first two weeks, where you typically need a doctors note after one week. If you're sick for longer than two weeks you have to contact one of our social services (Försäkringskassan), with a new doctors note, they will make an evolution if you're sick enough to not be able to work. If they think you're not able to work they will pay you based on what your salary was.
Of course you can abuse this system, but if you are sick often enough your workplace will probably demand a doctors note from day one. It's not a perfect system, but I prefer knowing that the bills will be paid, even I get sick for a long period of time.
This is applicable to shit jobs. My wife's company let a totally incompetent woman slide for a month of sick time, with an awful attendance record before that. And no, she didn't have cancer or some shit, just couldn't get it together and come to work. For a month, when she could work 3 days a week at home.
I have no idea how much PTO my last company gave as I took off almost every Friday and never put a dent in it.
