A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

MODERATORS
I've been at companies with generic PTO and companies with explicit sick leave which is considered additional to PTO.
The theory of sick leave is that people with serious or chronic illnesses need that additional time and shouldn't be compelled to come in at the expense of their long term well being. Also, if you've got the flu, don't show up and spread it around just have some extra days to get better.
If you want to get ideological about it, this is the nut of the whole "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need" thing the 19th century leftists were talking about. I do get the broader argument that we should just have more PTO generally speaking, shorter work days and work weeks, and more time for ourselves and our loved ones. But I think segregating out "sick leave" specifically for people who need additional time to recover form illness is generally better policy than handing someone a (often smaller and stingier) set of generic PTO and telling them to spend it on the worst days of their life.
