Gen Z is actually taking sick days, unlike their older coworkers. It’s redefining the workplace (fortune.com)

Unfortunately jobs require you to bring in a damn doctor's note if you take more than a day. No point in taking a sick day if you can't wait out the entire sick. That wouldn't be such a problem if healthcare in America wasn't insanely expensive and often just as dangerous as not getting it. They're more useful for mental health day than they are for not spreading something.
