I work for an international company based in Israel. I am located in the US. The entire Israel office gets off about 1/2 of September and October for ALL Jewish holidays in that time. About 2-3 weeks worth of holidays.

I need to take off only 3 days for the holidays celebrated over here. If the entire Israel office is off without PTO, is it wrong/illegal(?) to mandate I use PTO for these same days?

Why would you need to mandate using your PTO? It’s yours, no? Submit it and get it approved. Are you on call or backup for the IL team? I’m asking because I work for a company based in IL, and I’m in the US. They’re beyond fair with time off, so I’m curious as to what is different about where you work.

US companies don't allow time off for those same holidays, so the opposite the case for Israelis that are working for a US-based company. Yes, it's totally legal and common for global companies to offer only the regionally celebrated holidays (religious or otherwise).

Quitting before finalizing offers?

I’m at post onsite and negotiation stage at a couple places but it may take another month or 2 due to either hiring freezes or general slow processes.

Already burned most of my PTO interviewing.

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭
