[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for the unvarnished feedback - I expected nothing less!  :lol:  My spouse will be happy to be vindicated on this one.  Just to clarify: it's the agency's policy not to give a medical reason (or any other background) for leave solicitations.  And yes, my hope was to give colleagues with "use or lose leave" who were feeling particularly generous an outlet for that generosity -- not random employees who don't know me and think I might have cancer.  Of course, there's no way for me to screen for that possibility.[/quote]

NP yes there is another way. We're dual feds. I wanted my DH to donate to me so I joined the leave bank. It wasn't announced AT ALL, but then DH was able to donate. My aunt donated 2 days to me too. That's an option for you. You can join the leave bank and then ask your coworkers personally to donate to you.[/quote]

I also had my fed DH donate his use or lose leave to me, but my agency required the announcement.  We made sure that he donated the full amount I could receive before anyone else could attempt a donation.  Some people reached out to ask if they could donate leave to me, and I just let them know it wasn't needed.  I was actually quite surprised at how many people wanted to donate for my maternity leave.  [/quote]
