      It used to not be a thing, but a right-wing government back in the 90s (or 80s?) pushed to have 2 days without pay, and they landed on 1 day as a compromise.

      Right-wing governments ruin everything for everyone, bunch of ghouls all of them

      and when people do take that day off, they’re more inclined to be “sick” some extra days in order to make it worth one’s while, when someone has wasted that day without pay already.

        Yeah there are days when you catch some cold that puts you off for a day, but you’re back on your feet one-two days later if you rest.

        I’d take a week off to be sure in this case.
