Totally Inappropropriate-I'm speechless
So it is that time of the year where we have our Annual Employee Charitable Campaign. This is supposed to be ?voluntary.? I put in voluntary in quotes because this is what went down.
So my boss walks into my office and ?reminds me of the deadline? like I could forget with the bazillion email blasts we have been receiving. The goal is 100% participation. Then he tells me that he has spoken to other coworkers and they have all contributed. He goes on to say that he will PAY for my contribution if I don't want to, if I can't, or if I feel uneasy. OMG OMG OMG If I haven't contributed, doesn't that mean that I don't want to.
I am speechless L

You wouldn't believe it, if I told you my boss is the VP or Legal Affairs. He of all people should know better.
what the french, toast
WTF! This reminds me of the restaurant Jennifer Aniston's character in Office space works for. They say wearing a minimum amount of "flair" is required, but they really expect you to go way beyond that on your own accord.
We have that at my job. One person is selected from our department to be the "funds chair" in charge of gathering the annual donation and if they don't get 100% they get treated poorly at the big meeting of all the funds chairs. So no one wants that job and nearly everyone donates just to make it easier for him/her. The funds chair will often put $5 on your table and say I'll give you $ that you can donate - just so we can get 100%
it makes me uncomfortable too
We have this at my firm too. They make it a competition by which group can have the highest percentage of their people contribute (the goal is 100% of the entire office).
We only have about 120 in our office, so eventually people can figure out who the one or two people are that didn't contribute.
We even have "suggested giving" amounts based on our job rank. Needless to say, those amounts are far and beyond what I'm comfortable contributing with my financial position.
