[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a new fed and I find the whole concept of leave bank to be borderline offensive. [b]The govt is asking people for essentially monetary donations to colleagues and making colleagues beg each other for money instead of setting up a system that pays for emergency coverage.[/b] It’s so inappropriate.[/quote]

Govt is not asking, your collogues are asking. Govt's job is to facilitate and make it possible to donate. Your leaves are for emergency/non emergency uses. There are other products you can purchase to cover yourself. Most people (like OP) don't. [/quote]

Not only that, but in both my and my spouse's agency, leave donations are typically for people who have "use or lose" leave over 240.  I know several people that often take the last 3 weeks of the year off, but are willing to donate a week of leave and only take the last 2 weeks of the year off.  I now of at least 3 people who have done that in recent years.  During the pandemic, I know more people who donated leave since so many could not or would not use leave during the pandemic and they were happy to donate leave to people who had illness or family issues where they needed donated leave.[/quote]
