Do I Have to Pay for Gifts for Resigning Coworkers
Do I Have to Pay for Gifts for Resigning Coworkers Q: How can I push back against increasingly obnoxious requests to help pay for gifts for coworkers who are resigning? Recently, two of my colleagues both gave notice. After the news was announced, our boss threw a small party during lunch hours that we all attended. Our organization ordered food and a cake, and we all said nice things about our colleagues and signed photo books for them. They were also presented with gifts. Read More: How to handle a coworker soliciting for charity at work It has now been a week since the party, and my colleagues and I have received three separate emails from our bossâs secretary â" each one firmer than the next, asking us to contribute towards the cost of these gifts: Email 1: âDear Staff â" We have bought our colleagues two beautiful goodbye gifts. If you would like to contribute toward their gifts, please bring me whatever amount you would like to donate. Thank you.â Email 2: âDear Staff â" It is completely voluntary, but if you are able to contribute toward the gifts for Jane and Fergus, it would be most appreciated. If you are going to participate, please bring your contribution to me. The amount is up to you. Thank you.â Email 3: âDear Staff â" I havenât heard from you regarding the gifts we bought for Jane and Fergus. Boss is paying out of her own pocket whatever isnât contributed by the staff. We donât want the entire burden to be on Boss. Please try to contribute something â" anything will be helpful.â The first email was sent to the whole staff â" but the second and third emails were sent to just a handful of us â" the ones who did not contribute â" and not via bcc. Like a public shaming! How do I handle this and what do I say? I firmly believe it is not my place to have to pay for a gift on behalf of my company. I didnât choose the gifts, they are not what I would have chosen if I did (I actually took my colleagues out to lunch separately to say goodbye), and I find the whole thing really upsetting. Read More: Am I really supposed to contribute to a âBossâs Dayâ gift? A: Oh, this is obnoxious on so many levels â" the ones you named, but also the claim at first that itâs âcompletely voluntary,â followed by making it quite clear in the next email that the meaning of âcompletely voluntaryâ is not the one that any reasonable person is familiar with. You have a few options here: * You can continue to ignore her. After all, she told you this was completely voluntary, so letâs take her at her word. If she approaches you directly and individually, you can say, âThis is voluntary like you said in your email, right?â * You can email her back right now and say, âIâm not able to contribute and wanted to let you know so that you can cross me off the list.â * You can explain to her why this is so problematic: âYou earlier said this was voluntary, but these emails are becoming increasingly high-pressure. Iâm concerned that weâre being pressured to help pay for this after the fact, without any input into the gifts or their cost or whether we wanted to spend our money this way. I think itâs lovely if the organization wants to recognize departing employees, but none of us signed on to pay for those items and may not have room in our budgets for this.â * You can send the above email and also include your boss on it. Itâs possible she doesnât know that this high-pressure collection is being done in her name. * You can enlist other coworkers in speaking up as a group, which is often particularly effective because it makes it hard to ignore that people â" plural â" are irked about this. (And hey, you know exactly who to approach, thanks to your coworkerâs third email singling out the non-payers.) And really, once and for all: People, get your hands out of your coworkersâ wallets! Their money does not belong to you. Q: Should I invite my boss to dinner at my house? Iâve been thinking it might be nice to invite my boss and his wife to my home to have dinner â" but I keep having second thoughts about it. My boss is a vice president and Iâm one of six directors under him. Heâs met my husband and Iâve met his wife at company holiday parties. The boss and I occasionally chat about non-work-related things like travel or sports, but have not socialized outside of the office at non-business events. Is dinner a bad idea? Or am I overthinking this? Read More: How can I get out of having lunch with coworkers? A: Well, some people do this kind of thing and all parties involved seem to enjoy it. So itâs definitely a thing that happens. But I still wouldnât. Your boss might feel obligated to attend, or awkward whether he does or doesnât. And itâs blurring the boundaries in a bit in a way that isnât great â" ultimately, this is a work relationship, not a social one. Your boss needs to be able to, for example, give you tough feedback and itâs going to feel a lot weirder to do that if he was a guest in your home a week ago. So I say no, and just continue to appreciate the relationship for what it currently is, which sounds pretty nice as it is.
