I’m currently listening to my partner interviewing for an AM position at a generic chain restaurant and the recruiter is discussing how awesome it is that you can donate your PTO to anyone in the company (eye roll)
But it gets worse- they go on to tell a story where they know a young father who lost their baby and wife in a car accident and the father had no PTO to grieve and couldn’t afford to take time off. So instead of said generic chain restaurant doing the right thing and gifting the employee PTO to grieve, all of the other employees gifted him their remaining PTO for the year so he could have time to grieve.
AND THIS WAS A POSITIVE STORY 🤯
