Sorry if this has been covered but I want to know if I'm tight or not with leaving collection money
My department is having real issues with staff turnover at the moment and it's beyond ridiculous.
In the past 8 months, 16 people have left (and 4 on mat leave and 2 weddings so they had collections). It might not sound a lot but there's only 36 in a the department so it's a big chunk.
How much do people usually put in a leaving collection thing? Sometimes I've barely worked with the person directly and even more so I covid wfh I've never met them! I used to put £5 in but now it's £3 but it's still adding up...
Pre covid a colleague had a 'work stag' (is that even a thing?!) And we all had to chip in and pay for his cocktail making class and his meal and this stupid outfit... Best bit is none of us were invited to the actual wedding..
I dunno if I'm just a tight
witch but it's really adding up to be a lot of money now
I don't earn a lot.
