    Font - AITA for not donating my vacation hours to my coworker? My coworker has a sick daughter with severe psoriasis (and some other health problems) and used up her PTO this year. My coworkers started a donation campaign at work for her and she asked me to donate. I told her l'd think about it but I wanted to save my days as a few family members wanted to get together this year for Christmas. I also don't know her well as I work in another section. My a**hole boss released an excel file of how

When I booked it for Christmas it was clear it wasn't for emergencies so they started making rude comments about my work during meetings and leaving me out of important emails intensionally. I want to leave but I'm a new grad in a difficult field to get work in (photography) so l'm trying to get some experience. I got angry at the coworker(th

    Rectangle - DannyBigD · 15h Certified Proctologist [29] NTA. Your vacation time is 100% yours. I will never understand the concept of "donating" time, to me it screams cheap employer. I would crank up the pressure on why your boss can't donate thier precious time. G Reply 1 5.3k 3

    Font - tryingnot2comment · 15h Partassipant [2] NTA. Your boss had no right to post everyone's remaining vacation days and your co-workers have no business being involved in your vacation plans. Any decisions regarding donating your time to a co-worker are yours alone and I'm sorry this has resulted in such an awkward situation for you. G Reply 4 36 +

You're not obligated to give her your hours. I would also tell your boss that for every hour you give, you expect to be paid double since you're losing time off (if you want). G Reply 4 46 3 ..

I'm sorry for your coworker but you may still have an emergency? I don't know where you live, but if you get sick or someone in family gets it. We are in a pandemic. You might need them.

    Font - teresajs · 15h Prime Ministurd [446] NTA It's your coworker's responsibility to handle her needs for time off. She should be able to talk to management and rearrange some of her hours to attend appointments that she's scheduled so as to miss as little work as possible. Even if her daughter had cancer, it wouldn't be your job to give your coworker your PTO. At heart, giving her a day of your PTO is the same as giving her a day of your рay. 6 Reply 1 18 3 ...
