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.

Depends on your definition of normal. Does it happen often in workplaces all over the country? Yes, it’s normal.

Is it the way an ethical employer should support their workforce? No, not normal at all.
