What to Do When Your Coworkers Keep Asking for Money
The purpose of going to work is to earn a paycheck, so it's kind of ironic that in going to work, you're apt to encounter a number of expenses that cost you money, from commuting costs to maintaining a professional wardrobe. But while it's one thing to write off fuel and clothing as the cost of holding down a job, it's another to constantly find yourself subjected to money requests at the office. Yet a large number of employees encounter such uncomfortable situations every day.
Whether it's to chip in for Nancy's baby shower gift, Bob's surprise birthday cake, or Susan's retirement gift, it might seem like no matter where you turn, there's a coworker in your face asking for cash. And as much as you'd like to support your teammate's kid's basketball team or your colleague's wife's fundraiser, you're also working with a limited amount of money yourself.
