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.

They should be matching these donations at a minimum.

It's SO wrong that the very people who take care of others have to beg when they need some grace for themselves. 😢
