There has to be a middle ground, but we haven't found it.
Hope you're better soon!
Yeah, here in The Netherlands we have a system that let people rest from work if they are sick even if it's a "small thing" like this in return bosses dont have to pay you for the first day or 2 (depending on your boss) after that they have to pay you untill you either get better or they fire you.
I feel sad for the American people though and find it cruel that the people aren't allowed to take care of there health..
The Netherlands are higher up on the life satisfaction and world peace index for good reason!
