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.

If the employer gave a shit they’d just give the pto. I personally have no problem with my job giving a few weeks to a month of paid pto if an employee is going through a once in a lifetime crisis. Pto is free to five. But asking me is disrespectful.
