As an American who has been abroad for many years, can confirm! I'm visiting the states at the moment and its crazy to hear a family member talking about trying to convince their boss that the employees should get five paid sick days a year instead of only three. Three! A year! Insane.
- sick days even
  
  Five!!!
  
  insane
- What are you supposed to do?
  Turn up, shit yourself, keep helping customers?
  Or do you turn up, shit yourself, then get fired?
  
  Ok, but what matters is your turned up /s
- Last year was super shitty, I had COVID twice and Shingles with nerve pains, I've been on sick leave for more than a month over the year, it would have been a disaster without socialized healthcare and workers' insurance
