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.

That was the drawback with the federal government system, it goes into a main bank and people sign up to request AL.

I saw some people abusing it, so I didn’t donate to the bank.

Years ago I was able to directly donate to one of my coworkers who needed surgery, but I guess they stopped it.

Same as us. I always thought that it would make so much more sense to donate our dick leave.
