It's a bit weird because they recently lumped sick days and vacation PTO into one generic pool. It's nice because it gives way more time to just take off without faking sick.

Most places significantly cut total vacation time as part of the conversion and you still need a reserve to cover sick days anyway.

The loss of sick days also tends to get people to show up to work sick which is terrible downside IMO.

True though we're 90% hot/hotel seating now so pretty much everyone is setup to work from home if they're sick-ish and don't want to use a day.
