    I'd prefer the latter, definitely. I have never come even close to taking 12 sick days in a year, and that is despite my health getting a lot worse since I moved to HK.

    Our company had some kind of bonus system, 10 sick leaves a year, if you didnt take any of them then you get 5 days of extra pay at the year end bonus Alas they stopped it so people take sick leaves even more frequently now.

    Judging by your comment, I would guess that you are not one either.

    How come on geoexpat nearly everyone is successful, a boss or manager, and everyone is perfect... but then in real life we are encountered by a load of bums picking their noses?
