I did away with "sick" days at my work and just call them "flex" days so I don't have to hear from busy-bodies who have suspicions that so-and-so wasn't actually sick when they didn't come in yesterday. Like, I don't fataing care. People need a day off sometimes. I also just pay out all unused flex days at year-end. It just seems so much more fair.

But not using your sick days through the year? Good job, hero. lol.

I just find that when you treat employees like adults and not try to mandate how many days they can have for sick days, they act like adults and don't try to "beat the system" or whatever. It's just archaic to me. Maybe it's more necessary in some jobs or occupations, but I think that most people actually like their work. If they hate it so much that they're calling in sick, not only should they be leaving, but as the employer you should be thinking about why that is.
