re: Work offered 40 PTO hours for the next two weeks for the virus

I have two half brothers who are in grade school that live close by, i was going to use the "oh im going to help my dad out with them" line to see if they could budge.

Yes you would be a shitty employee. Don’t a free loader and look at this as a time to take a taxpayer funded vacation

My younger employees (no kids) who are willing and able to work are getting valuable training and experience outside their normal duties. This will help them out in the future (more pay, etc.).

I say if you can accomplish something like I am talking about then go to work for sure.

nah i wouldnt be able to take the full two weeks off obviously. Just use a day here and there.
Especially right now, due to the virus, we are super slow in my industry. Our customers are closing down their shops for the time being, and half of our plant baws arent here since we gave them time to figure out what to do with their kids.

Like i said, give us a damn laptop and let us work from home and we wouldnt even be having this problem

If they are mutha fricking offering me 40 hours of PTO, oh, I’m definitely taking that.

Done want me to take it, don’t offer it

Make yourself valuable
Don’t be shortsighted
Play the long game

Profit

but im also worried about the co workers with kids who are stuck.
The kids are off for four weeks while they're only giving out one weeks worth of PTO. I mean just give everyone a laptop and let them work and earn their money from home without having to worry about coming into the office

while I get it, and if the business lends itself to that, then of course.
