And how will they evaluate the validity of your sick leave based on
the small amount of information provided?  No, this is solely to
penalise "sickly" people with no way to prevent discrimination.

This is NOT part of the equal opportunities evaluation section of the
application.

Tell me you could guarantee that no company would put someone on the
bottom of the pile if they took four weeks off and listed "AIDS" as
the reason.
