[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It does sound petty from a manager, since this is the only way holiday parties happen for government employees and tone at the top is a thing. Plus, you presumably are in a better place to donate than entry level employees. If it was a “can’t afford to donate and get gas” situation, I’d have more sympathy. But if you can afford it and just don’t want to, suck it up donate a token amount, like $10.

And I say this as a Fed who is glad FT telework did away with office parties. Still, if it’s there, relationships with co-workers matter.  So, donate.  Put in an appearance. And if you know the party thrower’s manager, maybe mention to them that the party planner could use a refresher on email tone.

And remember, most of the time the people who spearhead these things are drafted, volunteered or do so because they need something to add to the “contributes outside of assigned job duties” section of their review. I doubt someone woke up and decided on their own to throw a large work party. [/quote]
