Most jobs aren’t going to do that. They can technically fire you whenever they want, since it’s considered at-will employment, but the cost of finding and training a replacement usually lends some stability, even for low-level jobs.
I’ve had unlimited sick time via “if you’re not well stay home” for like ten years. One job had limited vacation time (15 days to start that went up to 25 as you gained seniority), but the others has unlimited vacation time, too.
Unlimited? F’realz?
Don’t know where you live but in the Netherlands you just stay home when you’re sick, that’s it.
I believe after two weeks you need a doctor’s note.
And then you’ll get paid for up to two years of illness, after which you can apply with the government for further assistance.
So not unlimited, but quite long still.

In the US if you’re sick they can just fire you the first day you’re gone. It’s great, I hardly know what to do with all this freedumb I have.

These have been small/medium startups.
