I absolutely hate this system. I had a young kid starting kindergarten, I got infected with tree hundred variations of the common cold in the span of a year. I couldn’t take more than a single day off per month with self-reporting! The GP kept having to see me, verify I had the common cold, prescribe me with a couple of days of rest. If I wasn’t lucky and I wasn’t healed yet by then, I would also have to go back to see them. Dreadful. And they had to do it for most first time parents! Insanity. Perfect way to uselessly burn resources too… aaargh, still upset at it years later!
