    How generous of them… my European coworkers used to take a month off every year around August, and we think we’re being generous with a couple of days.

      When I take a sick day in Sweden, it’s not counted as vacation. It’s a sick day and I get 80% of my salary when being sick as well (every day after the first day of being sick).

      Life is pretty good in that way.

      That’s just paid leave. You get as many sick days…as you are, you know, sick.

      Well, to be honest, there are some limits in place for long term sickness
