If your job allowed it, would you ever donate PTO to a coworker?

@iamnikki My department made separate rules where if we used 24 hours in a 3-month period without giving prior notice they would write us up...3 write-ups in a row and we'd be terminated. Plus they cut back on the amount of employees making a bigger workload and then would give excuses for not letting us take all our hours. We had separate vacation and personal leave time but even getting vacation approved was sometimes like pulling teeth.

@cherokeepatti oh i see. Made it difficult

@iamnikki and some used every bit, extended illness or several surgeries, etc.

@Stillwaiting how much you have?

@iamnikki 6 weeks plus personal days and holidays

@Stillwaiting o wouldn't call that a ton of vacation time 😁 🌴

@Eternity thats the way to go 👍

@NoSugar That is why as a general rule - always do your job - BUT never be loyal to any company they will and have the means to kick you when you are down. So beat them to it. Example, if yo are planning to quit leave when it is the busiest time and just call in sick every day - go out on stress the company can't touch you if you do that - at least that was the case with a coworker that I knew. He took advantage of the system.
