Am I being unreasonable?

Every time somebody leaves I always throw £2 in the envelope which isn't much but still way more than most give however I'm not going to give to the next leaver.

Do you want to put in M's collection?
Why?
She's leaving
Didn't know that, where is she going to?
The seat behind
Are you serious?
Yes, she leaves that job and starts that one
Oh ok

Now here's a part of the office layout showing M's movement

Now you'll notice D on that layout who sat opposite me.
D got a new job, we had a collection and we even went out for a meal, D now sits behind me.

Does anybody else have to suffer this or should I just give my £2 and STFU?

That's ridiculous. Next time you go for a dump demand an envelope of cash all of your own. After all you'll be sitting somewhere else for an extended time!

They need to feel liberated.

No, you're not being unreasonable, it ****ing stupid

Or demand that fruit should be rolled under the toilet cubical!

Silly. The reason you get someone a leaving gift or go out for a meal or whatever is because they're leaving the company. Not their chair.

The only way this would be acceptable, would be if your diagram represented buildings, not desks!

hornetstinger · 29 Nov 2016 at 19:52

Tell them to get lost.

McBain · 29 Nov 2016 at 19:53

If they aren't leaving the company they get sweet FA.

Dunks · 29 Nov 2016 at 19:58

YANBU.

Captain · 29 Nov 2016 at 19:58

Lol a collection for someone staying in the same building? **** that, I don't put in people's collection when they leave or die.

GeForce · 29 Nov 2016 at 20:08

Wow that's insane.

Semple · 29 Nov 2016 at 20:08

Hah is this really not a joke?

We have desk moves all the time at work where people swap teams, or teams are moved around. Christ i'd end up paying out more than i earn in that case.

hornetstinger · 29 Nov 2016 at 20:09

Move your desk 1" and demand £1000 collection

Lokai · 29 Nov 2016 at 20:13

Completely crazy. They do something similar at my wifes work, if someone moves from xray to ct or mri etc, have a leaving collection. Suppose they at least move a corridor away.

Stumble Bum · 29 Nov 2016 at 20:16

Put a few coppers in the envelope. People will hear you putting money in, and they'll never know who the arse is who put in 3p

andicole0 · 29 Nov 2016 at 20:18

I would only cough up if someone was leaving the company. Changing desk is ridiculous.
Andi.

Whitewater · 29 Nov 2016 at 20:18

That's crazy, but I'd still join in. It's utter madness though.
