(for privacy reasons I won't give a name and I'll use they/them pronouns) TLDR at the end

So a friend that I know very well and that I see every day works in a place who doesn't make them happy or fulfilled, tho they chose it because they're good in social work. It isn't a very complicated job, the schedules vary during the week but they get compensated extra if working late or weekend shifts. Salary is also imo good despite the experience they have in the country (they're originally from other country) and is well above the minimum salary, so good option for a first job here I think

But they're not fulfilled, and I get it. But there comes a point where they would take whatever opportunity (i.e. a mild cough, a "traumatic" experience lived when working (emphasis on the "_" bc we laughed about the experience and how it could make a perfect excuse to take leave, ironically), or a slight fall -that only leaves a bruise- in the street) to go to the doctor and ask for leave. And bc of the field they work in (social) it's given. My friend claim they should be getting paid more bc they risk many things, health wise (though it's not very true), and the job is boring and not challenging. In the meantime they get signed 2 to 4 weeks of paid sick leave easily if they cry a bit in front of the psychologist or the doctor.

Then what bothers me is the look for support they ask upon me and our friends. Im not one to be earning a lot, nor work bc I love working, no one does, I think I found a somewhat fulfilling thing (though not yet very convinced either) but I get thru bc ffs it's a job and you're getting paid to do it (more than others actually). The fact that they look for sympathy in me, given that in <6 months they have taken over a month in total of paid sick leave, drives me crazy, bc even if you don't love the job, you're still getting paid for it and to me there's an important thing called work ethics (not to be confused with loving to work, not at all, nothing to do).

So whenever my friend tells me another excuse they found to ask for another 2-4 weeks of paid leave, I can't help to feel mad, but I don't want to get into an argument. To me is more that I feel disappointed by the person my friend is whenever they try to scam the system, also bc in their eyes the rest of mortals just "suffer" thru the routine and settle on "lower" wages just because. And its not that, to me is the stupid work ethics I have as a person.

Tl-dr: AITA for getting mad whenever my friend scams the system to get weeks (in plural and very often) of sick leave although we both know they're not deserved?
