Does Japan not have sick leave? You have to use your vacation days to cover the days you're sick?

Yeah, there's no such thing as sick leave. Well, you can apply in some situations, but you have to be unable to work 4+ days in a row, and it only covers part of your salary.

That sounds...unfair. That may be why so many people in Japan are overworked 🥲
