re: The good ole office staff donation/collection?

Just straight up asking for cash? Or asking you to buy something to support a fundraiser?

I'd have a problem with co-workers just coming up to me asking for cash or donations for all kinds of random shite. Deaths would be one thing, but the rest they need to go ask their family and friends, not co-workers....or start a GoFundMe.

But if they're actually selling something (chocolates, Girl Scout cookies, candy, etc) for school, club, or sports team fundraiser then I always try to buy at least one box to help out....helping a good cause and gives me something to snack on at my desk.

Last year, we had some faculty start a donation because a teacher was saving for vacation.

I'd flat out refuse...who goes around asking for donations to fund a vacation? Only exception is if the teacher/spouse/child was diagnosed with a terminal illness and only had a short time to live, then I'd donate.
