you're a drain on your company. Here in Korea people don't take sick days and many holiday even when they're entitled to them. Private businesses frown on people not completely dedicated to the company (read 'slaves') and government workers (including teachers) feel bad when they take a day off. Not me, I can tell you. ^^
Being self-employed, however, I don't get paid when I take a day off.
