Or think about it this way, would you rather have 2 weeks of PTO or one week of vacation and one week of sick leave? Or even 2.5 weeks PTO vs 2 weeks vacation and 1 week sick leave and you need to provide a reason for the sick leave?

I much prefer PTO over some mixed policy, even if the mix is technically more time off.

I should just be able to call in sick if I’m sick. Why even track it?

Because people will abuse it, which sucks. And if you go with an unlimited PTO option, there’s often a lot of cultural pressure to not take PTO.

so discipline those that abuse it? It’s really a symptom of not engaging with your workforce on a realistic level. Many non-American countries deal with it adequately. In the UK your sick days don’t come out of your vacation, and if you need more than a week off you have to get a doctor’s note.

I have almost 30 work days PTO plus virtually unlimited paid sick leave. Both basically standard over here.

Always amazes me that the US is not already chopping heads because of the bad health system alone
