Excellent rebuttal to the critics of sick leave. While there are numerous cases of abuse, denying or not taking sick leave is a form of pride in reaction to sloth. Neither sin is a virtue in the light of the other.

I've experienced the effects of draconian sick leave policies. Illness spreads like wildfire when companies force sick people to keep working. This usually stems from a lean staffing mindset that makes no provision for setbacks and allows no spare personnel. Likewise creating annual leave blackouts leads to use-or-lose scenarios, bad for both morale and productivity.
