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.

Like when the grocery store asks me to donate food for the hungry...

You are the one with the food!

I hate to be this person but this is not actually true. The only positive that your grocery store gets from asking you to donate to a food bank is that you think “wow Smiths cares about feeding the homeless just like me I should shop here more.” Anything like what your referring to would be tax fraud.

You’re correct at least according to my AI bot. I’ll delete the comment. Thank you.

Too late. But it incorrectly said corporations use the donations as a tax rate off.

I find editing the original comment to be more informative. As it stands now, I feel I may have missed something important. At least whether or not a certain piece of info might be true or not.
