13 days of sick leave per year may not sound like a lot, but it can be accululated over the years. So, if you are a supervisor of long term employees, many of the employees will have the option of using an entire year of accumulated sick leave and be absent from the job any time they want. They can even use it to care for another person they know. There are many Federal employees in their 60s, 70s, and 80s, who almost never show up for work. A "for profit" business could never operate with those rules.
For-profits could absolutely operate with those rules, but the greedy CEOs making 300 MILLION per year would have to "struggle by" making only 30 MILLION per year. We would feel so, SO, sorry for those poor CEOs , College Chancellors, and Congress People.
