It’s where they make you beg your coworkers for their own sick leave to be transferred to you, or have HR send out an email blast begging employees to donate their own meager PTO to you, instead of the employer granting an appropriate amount of sick or maternity leave to begin with.
Here, if you’re sick you get sick leave. There is no real limit other than after 2 years of illness you basically go on disability instead of sick leave.
What if your illness takes longer than the amount of days you have, you are just expected to show up at the office in your hospital bed?

How does that even work? How can you transfer sick days? It’s not like you have a fixed amount of days you are allowed to be sick, right… right?
You generally have a fixed amount of paid sick days per year. Those are what’s being transferred.
That’s fucking insane.

That’s kinda sick (in the sense of being twisted and cruel)
