[quote=Anonymous]I realize this sounds so petty. I work for the state government, we have zero budget for office holiday parties. A coworker sent an email out yesterday soliciting cash donations so she can throw a party for the entire office, which is multiple departments and hundreds of people. My department is small, maybe 20-30 people in my office. Her email was off putting and she included her Venmo. I am throwing two baby showers for two different staff who are expecting, and I just took a direct report out for lunch to celebrate their promotion. I’m easily spending $300+ on my direct staff over the few months and have no desire to also subsidize a holiday party for people in departments I don’t even know. I wouldn’t mind bringing a dish or something, but to ask for cash donations sounds just so tacky. Ugh. Ok, complaint over. I know the easy answer is "just don’t donate" and I won’t, but I’m wondering what other people would do in this situation. [/quote]
