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."
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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!
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.
Dammit, why are naps considered unprofessional? I could be so much more professional if they let me take a 20 minute nap.

I know! There's even studies that back this up. I guess the important thing is to always appear professional, even if you could be more professional doing something else.
I have an embarrassingly large amount of PTO. To the point where I have trouble using it up. (We're only allowed 5 days of rollover so I generally wind up taking a lot of random 3-day weekends towards the end of the year and then a week in February.)
Sick days we get 6 per year, but we can roll them over indefinitely up to a maximum of 18 days/year, so it's essentially unlimited. The only time I've ever used all my available leave was when I took maternity leave.
It *almost* makes up for the crappy salary and bullshit red tape. Almost.
