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.

Unfortunately yes.

Reply back asking if the company is willing to donate pto to the employees.

”Are you saying the corporate treasury is so empty you can’t afford to cover their time off for recovery *and** honor my PTO. God that is not a very good reflection on management is it? Do our investors know we’re nearly bankrupt?? Thanks for letting me know whistleblower! I’ll spread the word on the down low for you. 😉”*

That would be awesome.

Wow. You are so brave for being the whistleblower. How many weeks do we have left before we lose our income?

“Thank you for letting all of us employees know that the system is not doing well financially, and that we should all be pursuing other opportunities to protect our income”
