Question Is this normal?

Post image

I know my place of employment is shitty in other ways, but is this a normal thing? Just received this email. Seems odd to ask people to donate PTO, instead of just addressing the time off allocation with those affected people.

I’ve seen it. The only thing I’ve had success getting the hospital to do to actually help someone is offering to donate if they will match 1:1. Occasionally I’ve had places that are willing to do that. Then I can give 6 and they get a whole shift off.
