At the last doctor's office I worked at, staff got a holiday bonus, which is pretty standard. Not a big deal, but I mean, in the two years I've been here, we have never gotten a holiday bonus. I'm asking for $25 from each of you all for these. "It's time to collect money for buying the four doctors in our office a gift card for their Christmas gift from us. Recently I received this email from our manager: It pays $15/hr which I guess is to be expected for this kind of job in Kentucky. Not a terrible job, but it's more so a holdover while I work toward other goals. I'm a receptionist in a doctor's office at a hospital. #4 I'm Not Sure If I'm Overreacting To This, But This Email From My Manager Just Rubbed Me The Wrong Way This place would have burned to the ground without me and I am literally forgettable to her." I left without contributing anything to her spa day.
#BILL BOSS CHRISTMAS MUG HOW TO#
I've literally spent 2 months working late into the night, in an office meters away from the directors desk, doing a job that no one else here knows how to do.

My response: "Why would I bother giving up any of my tiny pay check to pay for my boss to go to a spa when she doesn't even remember I exist.

My decision was already made for me, I had no intention of coming back the next year and I was still pissed about being forgotten. In that speech, she went through each of the head staff one by one (except me of course) thanking them for their hard work. This was the director who had given a closing speech to the entire camp the night prior. On the last day, as I was about to leave the camp for good, I was approached by one of the more senior head staff about contributing $20 to a gift (spa day) for the director of the camp. The camp was in the middle of nowhere so the staff lived on site too. The camp is a non-profit, and only paid me about $2500 before taxes and only had 3 days off, and 3 evenings off. My job was to make the daily schedule for several hundred kids and ~60 staff for 6 periods every day in addition to teaching archery lessons for the first half of the day. I was one of the head staff, but a junior head staff. I was 20 years old working at a 2 month long sleep over summer camp for kids aged 8-13 or so. #3 I Too, Refused To Pay For A Gift For My Boss She’s just working there to make a couple extra bucks for a few months until she goes back to school. But she wasn’t trying to move up there anyway. No telling how that affects her relationship with the supervisor. Her supervisor sounded disappointed and said something like “Alright we’ll just leave your name of the gift”. She just told her supervisor that it wasn’t in her budget as there isn’t enough left over from her paycheck to contribute with her own personal holiday shopping she needs to take care of. **UPDATE: After showing her this thread, she decided not to give the money.

Only managers and supervisors are entitled to healthcare benefits I should mention, she gets no Christmas bonus, she’s part time, and her job doesn’t offer benefits. She’s probably going to end up having to give the $30, but I just needed to vent about it. My wife wants to keep her job, and her $30 but doesn’t know how to get out of it without looking bad.Īnd I just know the supervisor is organizing this to suck up to the doctors and take credit for organizing this gift for them. The supervisor wants everybody to contribute $30. Her and her coworkers make around $15/hour. Her supervisor, the office manager, is organizing this collective gift for the doctors. #1 My Wife Has To Contribute $30 To Her Boss For A Christmas Gift…
