It’s not like you say “I feel sick for 6 months, deal with it” but you have to check with your doctor regularly. That’s how it works in Germany. And at some point, you get less payment and when you are chronically ill, you will lose your job at some point. But it’s not a set number of days per year
Parent, forced to choose between poverty and caring for child with cancer, gets a helping hand from coworkers when their employer would just let them starve.
It can be both though. It’s ok to appreciate and find hope in witnessing common people voluntarily coming to the aid of a fellow person in need while also acknowledging the failures of a system that help create the need for those goodwill actions by common people.

Did he not know about FMLA?
You don’t get paid for that. For most people if it’s unpaid then you just can’t afford to take off work.

Inundated? Is that an English word or are you Romanian?
It’s a synonym for “overloaded.”
Maybe run a quick google search before asking an educator if they know words…
