Please tell me if I'm being stingy or if I have a point!
I've recently started a new job and been told everyone puts money in to buy a really nice present for people when it's their birthday. That's nice I thought. I was then told there are four birthdays coming up and everyone contributes £5 each for everyone's birthday... so that's £20.
There are about 40 people in the team so that's a lot of money each year £200 to be exact!
Everyone takes part so I would look terrible if I didn't do it, but I can't help but feel a bit meh about the whole thing. My birthday isn't until February so there's a chance I won't even be there/ won't have passed my probation by the time my birthday comes.
AIBU to resent this? I'll probably still chip in, but I don't like how the company just expects it and there isn't much choice in the matter.
