    Had to do the same back in school here in Germany, only difference being that the doctors note was needed on day one. Stupidest shit ever.

      It’s a dumb system. I’m originally from The Netherlands and never had to deal with anything like this. When I still went to school my mom would call and tell them I was sick and they were like ‘Okay get better soon’. When I worked in NL I’d call myself and tell them I was sick. If I was sick for a longer period of time I’d either go to the doctor myself because something was probably wrong or they’d send a doctor for the company to check on me.

      Do people abuse that system of trust in The Netherlands? No. There’s no need to be overly controlling.
