Paid sick leave is obviously a good thing, but it's not what I'm talking about here. I suppose it might work differently in the countries you mention, but here if I want to take time off as sick leave then it has to be because I'm actually suffering from some kind of medical problem, rather than just being half asleep and gormless.
(OK, I don't actually have to get a doctor's note if it's for just one day, so I could in practice just claim to be ill, or if my line manager was so inclined then I could agree with him to maintain the polite fiction that I'd been ill. But those options are obviously unethical.)
And in any case, if my real problem today is that it's difficult to get back into a mental state capable of work after three weeks of holiday, extending my holiday by two more days would surely make the problem worse, not better! :-) |
