I was reading the comments today on the one about the employee taking off vacation and someone was seriously arguing that combining all sick, vacation and personal into one big PTO pot was better and...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Their reasoning was that managers wouldn't have to ask about why you were taking off but (a) it doesn't work that way and (b) that means catching COVID or the flu could wipe out a vacation you'd planned and paid for already. Among many other things.
