Having whip rounds in work - Opinions?
Discussion
Just wondering what peoples opinions are about having whip rounds/collections for people in work. In my work it's becoming excessive I feel and are always instigated by the same woman.
Today I had to give money for some guy having his seventh kid (yes you read that correctly SEVENTH child) a couple of months ago and for some other persons birthday.
I gave a tenner for both ie a fiver each, taken from me by the woman who likes to always start it's immediate colleague.
When she went back to the other room I could just hear them making comment as to how low the amount of money was.
I'm one of the lowest paid members of staff in the company and it seems like every other week i'm expected to give money for birthdays, engagements, new hair do's etc.
Am I being a miserable git?
