Meanwhile a certain group of co-workers always manage to use up their entire allotment of sick days. Amazing how those people are sick exactly 10 working days each year! Not 9 and not 11.

In terms of both company productity and moral, rolling PTO makes alot of sense to me. Should I get two weeks less off per year because I refuse to pretend I'm sick?

And before someone jumps down my throat, yes, there are people who use those sick days for very valid reasons. But they appear to be few and far between as best I can tell.
Using just two sick days is dumb. Take a mental health day a few times a year. Even for a couple days at a time. You're just leaving paid time off on the table and there's no reward for that. No need, either. It's not heroic.
