I’m a little shocked that #germany is requiring workers to get a doctor’s note for any sick leave. It’s such an insanely high barrier for people. I’m sad to see such an important member of the EU go in such an anti-worker direction.
I can say as an American who has had jobs with that requirement, the result is “people come into work sick all the time”. Truly the sickest I’ve been in my life have been places that mandate that, to the extent that one of the two that did ended up rolling it back when an intern threw up in a trashcan in front of our largest customer.

@matdevdug@c.im I think it's a quite common thing across EU and I hate it.

@matdevdug@c.im Is a big problem in the USA. I've seen a sick worker come in and just sit there all day doing nothing. Well spreading whatever shit they have to co-workers.
