    So does US work culture to me. Not as dystopian as the Japanese one, but not too far off.

        I’d start with “sick days” and “holiday” being the same mostly and seen as “benefits”.

            Many companies count any day you aren’t at work as “paid time off”, so if you’re sick (or have given birth the other day and have the audacity not to show up for your shift immediately), those days are being deducted from your holiday budget until that has run out. Then, your sick days are just unpaid and that’s that.

            Furthermore, there is no mandatory amount of such days that I know of.
