    Its funny because from what I understand GPs/PCPs have been saying that requiring sick notes is actually a waste of doctor's times and that they should just Trust the person saying they're too sick to work lmao. UK moving the opposite direction.

      1/34 people in the UK self-reported having long-covid as of march last year, and 1/50 (around 2/3s of those reporting) had symptoms lasting more than a year.

    Rishi Sunak

    sick note culture

    Infuriating. Get fucked asshole. People need off from work? It's their goddambed biz. Maybe they need a good wank day off to just to feel alive in this hellscape. Motherfuckin politicians or there openly denigrating the populace. Gotdamn.

    Y'all starting to taste our home baked US brand of freedom. Yeah. I know. it really tastes like shit.
