… I was asked to “donate” PTO to a co-worker.
My co-worker just broke their back in an accident and their home and car suffered significant damaging during recent storm events. We were asked to donate our PTO since they have run out.
Our PTO is combined vacation and sick time, and it does not roll over year to year. Use it or lose it… Why would they think anyone has “extra” PTO lying around?
Our company makes millions in revenue per year. They can't provide additional PTO to someone who has dedicated 15 years of their life to this company? It wouldn't even make a dent in the budget. Oh, also, their partner just finished cancer treatment and they have multiple kids in college.
I fucking hate it here.
