Why do you think it is fetishization? You can quite literally sip a five euro wine while on sick leave (if your illness allows!), knowing that your finances and job are not at risk, for as long as your recovery takes. There is no hyperbole there, it's the entire point of labour protections.
Meanwhile, as far as I understand, laws only mandate unpaid leave for a limited time, and only for very serious conditions in the US.
- 999900000999 1y agoLabor protections in America is a joke. A friend had a rough pregnancy, got fired. You can try and sue but it's expensive/stressful and you'll probably lose. Mom and the kid are both fine years later. Had a co worker who only took a single day off for his daughters birth as the company didn't offer any PAID family leave.
