#1 Germany is almost the exact same way. It happens ALL the time here. It's really sick the way the system is abused. (no pun intended)

#2 My favorite: I recently heard about a European employee (not in Sweden, however), who, in the middle of a typical long summer vacation, was sick for a couple of weeks; they were able to suspend their vacation time, put in for sick leave until they "got better", and continue their vacation after that from when they left off.

Sweet deal.

They are doomed.

#3 Doomed Carl? Doomed?
If the neos would raise the minimum wage to $22.00 an hour we could afford this kind of elementary decency to our workers.
