It can often feel like it takes ages to accumulate paid time off. If I just work one more week, I’ll rack up .2 days of vacation! PTO is valuable, and I’m assuming that there’s nothing I could say or do to get you to forfeit those days you’ve worked hard for.
But what if a colleague who had used all of their vacation days was suddenly in a terrible accident? Well, according to one woman, that is the company’s problem, not the responsibility of employees. Below, you’ll find a story that was posted on r/Antiwork detailing how a boss decided to ask workers for donations rather than simply providing more PTO to an employee in need, as well as a conversation with Lars Lofgren, CEO of HR Advice.
