Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Our sick days and vacation time are just bundled together, and we can carry over 3 weeks' worth into the new year. Speaking of, I'm off work next week and just found out the bill for today's car repair (having my brakes fixed) is low enough I can go on an actual vacation in good conscience. Eureka Springs, here I come!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sorry, yes we have sick days, but there is not a set #.
Oh yeah, that sounds like the "unlimited vacation" bs that I've been reading articles about. "You can take as much time off as you want! As long as 100% of your work is done."

That's pretty much what I have. My team have the blended vacay/sick which does not roll over at all. That doesn't mean you get to take big blocks of time to use it up - it means it's on you to plan it out over the year so you don't lose a bunch.
I really only track my team's PTO so that I can remind them to take it every so often and not have a bunch banked at year end. And if they go over (it's 18 days, 23 after three years) I could give a rats ass. They're still taking time over the holidays, as much as can be managed.

I have 4 weeks of vacation and unlimited sick time. The unlimited sick time is still OK for me to take-- I don't think anyone realizes that once you move to salaried, there even is unlimited sick time.
I can roll over up to 4 weeks of vacation, but due to a bad boss 7 years ago, I always have to roll over the max, since I could not take vacation for a whole year, and I have never been able to catch up!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
If I had vacation to use up I would be taking a day a week.

I actually took a half day a week for a year just to get it down to the rollover! But it was really difficult to get my work done and I am salaried, so it was kind of moot. I think that when I got promoted I also got another boatload of vacation dumped in there somewhere.

I generally end up with a lot of leftover vacation after working here for 8 years. We can only take a week at a time, so I'm taking quarterly vacations.
