When you work in an office, it’s not uncommon to be asked to chip in for a collective gift for the boss. While most employees just hand over the money without complaint, one woman is not okay with it and she’s not just being cheap, she has a valid reason for not wanting to contribute.

In a post to Reddit’s “Antiwork” section, she explains that she’s a receptionist in a doctor’s office at a hospital, where she makes $15 an hour. Her manager recently sent out an email notifying staff of the plans for the present for the surgeons they work for. “It’s time to collect money for buying the four doctors in our office a gift card for their Christmas gift from us,” it reads. “I’m asking for $25 from each of you all for these.”

But here’s the thing, not only does this receptionist earn a lot less than those surgeons, she also hasn’t ever gotten a holiday bonus in the two years she’s worked there. She knows she makes nowhere near as much as those doctors, so she asks, “Why am I buying these people things?” And Redditors chimed in to commiserate.
