    If it’s unpaid, not a chance I am getting a doctors note. Although, what kind of dystopian country doesn’t have paid sick days?

      Undeveloped societies can be like that. It’s often places that don’t have many rights for the citizens and are worse off in wealth then the pre French Revolution France. Basically peasants with smart phones given this day and age.

      Well then the company has no proof you were actually sick, and next thing you know you have a meeting with HR and your supervisor asking about where you currently are in all your work. Unpaid is not automatically excused

      A part of my salary is determined by the number of hours i bill my customer, so a sick day could easily mean that I lose somewhere in the range of $100 - $200. And I don’t even live in the USA.
