"This is in stark contrast to the trend of lumping both sick time and time off into a single limited “PTO” bucket. Having an unlimited budget of time off means you don’t have to worry about “banking” time in case you get sick.
Those policies are fucked-up. It's Enron-style accounting, a way for a company to say, "we offer 15 days off" while lying through its fucking teeth. Counting sick days against vacation is evil. By effectively forcing people to come into work when ill and making the whole office sick, they're fucking with my health (and everyone's, most of all the people who are already sick and deserve rest).
Whoever came up with that "innovation" deserves to be sold into Roose Bolton's captivity."
Guess what I'm doing right now? I'm at work...I have a fever, apparently, but I REFUSE to leave because I'm not going to lose yet more vacation. I already lose about half of my vacation because I have a chronic condition.
Needless to say, there's never been a post I agree with more.
