This is surreal. I remember playing the Springfield map in Quake 3, which was a community mod. Praying it would load because it was so massive it overloaded the engine in every way. And now we have a polished version of it in Fortnite. I normally don't play it but I'm tempted.
Woah, Fortnite has landed in Springfield! It’s a shameless corporate mashup you won’t want to miss. Jump in later today! Until then check out our trailer.

I keep seeing this and as someone who lived in Germany all my life and now the UK, these are the reasons:
Calling in sick is a lot of effort in Germany. It's not just a phone call or email. You HAVE to see the doctor. Even for one day. With 2-4 hours waiting time when you get there.
Once it's done, you get documentation you need to manually send to your employer and health care provider - it's getting automatic now but it was like this all my time in Germany (until 2021). You need to send this asap, employers get upset if they don't get it fast.
So you need to go through all this effort, which takes half a day, and the doctor will also write you sick a given period. If you extend this period, you need go see the doctor again. And because this is such an annoying process, people tend to write themselves sick longer than they are to be safe.
I think this is the main reason, one other reason is that you keep your pay for a really long time while sick.
I always thought about this. Wouldn't you think one of the most important base rules is to open your business when it suits your customers? You wouldn't open a night club at 8 AM on a Tuesday.
@RobinPoedev I went to an IT school for 3 years, yet I'd still say > 95% of my knowledge I've obtained myself in front of my computer at home. Programming was so slow in that school we didn't even get to oop.
@housecor I've worked without source control for so long. It just always avoided me, I didn't even know it was a thing! And in my first 3 jobs nobody used it or asked me to use it. Can't imagine not using it now, always had to copy the entire project before a deep change.
