It's part of compensation so the reason why is irrelevant and also relative wrt what people consider "sick." I didn't take joy days regardless but it did have the consequence of making me not give a poo poo.
This is more inflammatory than I mean it, but: People with this attitude are, in my experience, always lovely employees and almost-always lovely at life in general (unless you're really young in which case nevermind).

Hangovers count as sick. I've done it before and said what was up, knowing my boss would be cool with it. But when you only call in like once every 6 months you can get away with stuff like that.

Hell any mention in the here that it'd be less than a Clinton win was referred to as arzying

the weird thing is there was almost no leaks from anywhere that there were problems, like when bill and hillary got in a huge argument over whether to campaign out in the sticks

yeah i think it's notable how they kept such a tight lid on things that nobody outside of people involved with the campaign had any real idea until after the fact

hillary's campaign did a shockingly awful job but there's a facet of it - reliance and blind acceptance of polling - that's understandable, especially given the deceptive accuracy of election polling in 2008 and 2012 and an the lack of hindsight to look at previous polling errors in the UK, israel, etc. and connect the dots

state polling was rather in hillary's favor though according to just about every major pollster, not just her campaign's
