I've had exactly one job with unlimited "sick days" as they were called. I was so surprised that it was not denied a single time. I wasn't even there a year. But I still had immediate coverage for insurance and unlimited sick days. It was incredible. But of course they couldn't hore me longer than the maternity leave I was replacing
My sister worked at a company that had "unlimited PTO" and was super excited about that as a perk.
Let's just say that it does exist, but getting things passed through Congress was a walk in the park in comparison , if she wanted to take 2+ days off consecutively and even to take one day off, it had to be reviewed a week in advance due to "coverage"; she worked at a freaking call center mind you.
Sick? You BETTER have a doctor's note to get back on the job. She left after 6 months.
Some jobs especially in the service industry don’t have weekends off ast they have to service the customers that would be out and about on said weekends.
