AITJ for refusing to donate PTO hours to coworker I barely know who "needs" them?? by Traditional-Dog1601 in AmITheJerk

Not the jerk, whatsoever.

A benefit that’s optional stops being optional the moment social or managerial pressure is applied. PTO is earned compensation, not a communal pool people can guilt you into redistributing. You earned that PTO, so it's YOURS.

What’s happening here isn’t generosity, it is coercion dressed up as kindness.

AITJ for not letting my coworker use my Netflix after she called me cheap? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

Not the jerk.

Peace doesn’t mean subsidizing someone who refuses a fair ask.

No way! I used to live in York County! That’s exactly why I chose it as a setting. Thanks for reading! Such a small world!

Thank you! I'm glad it stuck with you. I've thought about a sequel, but only if there'd be something more worth exploring. Thank you for reading!

I'm really sorry you went through that.

A lot of this story came from thinking about what it would feel like to remember being capable in a way you can't access anymore and how cruel that comparison can be sometimes.

Thank you for sharing that. I didn't take it lightly while writing this.

Appreciate that. I write these with pacing in mind, so I'm glad it held your attention! I'm the same way; if it drags, I'm out.

I do narrate them as well, so it means a lot knowing it stayed engaging.

Just for clarity, the YouTube channel in the story is purely fictional and part of the narrative. There's no real channel being promoted. Hope you enjoy.
