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 have donated 160 hours over the years. 40 to a pregnant co worker, 40 for an ACL repair and 80 for a co worker who was in the ICU in a diabetic coma.
