Employee Gets Ostracized For Refusing To Donate His Vacation Days To A Coworker Whose Child Is Sick
As a matter of fact, there's no legal obligation to simply give away your own vacation days because a coworker needs them more. However, a Reddit user found himself in a situation at work where he was asked to donate some of their vacation days to a coworker caring for a sick child. His boss also crossed an ethical line by publicly sharing an Excel sheet listing everyone's remaining vacation days.
OP had been saving up vacation days for Christmas plans made well in advance. When others noticed OP's substantial vacation days and their refusal to donate any, they confronted him. Seeking input, OP turned to the Reddit community r/AmITheAsshole to ask if he was wrong to say no to his coworker. Let's delve into the story to uncover the real events.
