Well when those days are also your "sick days" you tend to want to hold on to them. My manager is out sick with COVID for like the 4th or 5th time. In Summer. agony-4horsemen

My employer pooled sick days and PTO, then got mad at us if we took more than 3 days off "unapproved" per quarter. "Unapproved" time was anything without more than 24 hours notice to your supervisor.

Love to get write ups for having 4 sick days in a 3 month time period

Iv just have them add my PTO to my paycheck and burn it up. Why save it for a sick day, money is money no matter when you get it

With the union we are able to sell or purchase up to 10 days. Payments / deductions spread across the year so its not like you get a lump sum, but it's something nice to have on hand.
