New York City's Sick Day Policy is a Trap for Everyone

For a while, New York City was trying to make the world a better place by forcing us to take better care of ourselves - like decreasing soda consumption. Now the city is forcing us to take better care of each other, by forcing companies to give paid sick leave. The problem is that the sick leave policy is a trap for everyone -- employers look bad for having their hand forced, and employees look bad if they take advantage of the new policy.
