A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I'm sure many other jobs aren't like this, but where I work we don't have to give any reason at all to use our sick leave. Since one of the official definitions of "sick" in the Cambridge Dictionary is "very good, excellent," you wouldn't even be lying.
Good point.
Calling in sick:
Calling in, sick:
Sick 🤙
When I was hired on for my current job my boss explained that they don't require any proof to use our "medical time." While vacation time should be put in with a bit of notice, medical time was ours to use whenever. Literally said, if you wake up after a stressful few days and just want to enjoy some fresh air, just put it on the shared calendar that you're using some medical time. It can be as little as 1hr, it doesn't matter.
(Small company in the US btw)
Yeah we called them personal days, s as long as nothing was due that day it was ok to use them for any reason.
Lol as long as nothing was due that day.
Company still comes first, technically!
I was working in web development and marketing back then, while you’re kinda right, and there were always “fires” (which were bullshit, because we mostly did clothing brand websites and tv show ads, not really important in the bigger scheme).
We did manage to keep them from launching sites or features on Fridays. So we had chances to take them more (but still not enough).
If you were happy that's the important thing, but yes, companies still have a long (ext x 1000) way to go across the board generally.
The work/life culture was better than my preceding professional jobs, but the middle management was terrible, with 3 coming and going in 2 years.
I became a consultant for one more year, and liked that more, but they ultimately got out of that business (Shopify and squarespace ultimately took that market around the same time).
I don't think I've ever had a job where I had to prove my sickness. I know that doesn't apply to everyone but as long as you don't abuse it, taking the odd day here and there doesn't cause issues
If you need to use long term disability you do. Also some workplaces ask for a doctors note for multiple days sick.
Yes, I think that is a different situation than what were referring to. Long term disability doesn't fall under odd day here and there.
In Germany the employer isn't even allowed to ask what is the reason for your sickness. So you can just call in sick and that's it.
That's pretty nice, it's basically additional leave days! I still prefer European style with unlimited sick leave, but you need a certificate from your physician.
I’m sick of this job today.
