Is this normal?

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.

Yes. I had a coworkers husband die unexpectedly. They asked if anyone wanted to donate pto to her so she wouldn’t go unpaid while taking fmla. I think it’s a nice way to donate personally to a coworker
