I know I'm a spoiled engineer but if a company ever required a doctor's note I'd just come to work sick, walk into my boss's office and cough as hard as I could

  It's extremely common in Germany, it's a form letter, and you get two versions, one for yourself with details, one for your employer which lacks details, especially the reason.

  Trust is great, but society consists of many complex interlocking systems, so at least some level of verification and attestation is needed. Besides: Doing that knowingly and intentionally would likely qualify as assault (besides being a morally shitty thing to do).

    If you don't trust me don't hire me. I could cause all kinds of issues for your company. I won't because I'm trustworthy. If you treat me as untrustworthy by not trusting that I'm sick when I say I'm stick then you don't trust me. If you don't trust me I'm not working for you.
