Why do employers act like sick days are some privilege. I was sick, not partying.

I was re-scheduled to work on my day off due to me taking a sick day last-minute due to hay fever. The logic? ‘Well, you had your day off.’ I was even asked if I enjoyed my day off, and what did I do? No I didn’t enjoy it – I had a sick day, where I lay on the sofa because my eyes were swollen shut. Why do employers act like we’re out here enjoying our sick days?
