'My manager collected donations for me but kept it all': Boss collects donations from coworkers under the guise of helping with a personal tragedy, dips with all the money
If we're taking bets for the worst thing a boss has ever done, my money is on this; using someone else's tragedy for your own gain is a specific type of evil with no moral restitution. Somewhere in a locked room, this boss has a portrait of himself with a curled, deformed hand and demonic visage.
This heartbreaking workplace story was shared on Reddit't r/antiwork subreddit, with the original poster sharing how her former boss had scammed her coworkers into giving him money, which was supposed to be passed on to help her after a tragic personal loss which resulted in out of pocket expenses and also resulted in a loss of income due to extended time off work.
She was unaware of this until she was speaking to a coworker after returning to the office; during the conversation, the coworker asked if the donations had helped. The manager had been going around claiming to be collecting donations to help her with costs, but the money had never made it to her, and the manager left the business a month before she had returned to the office.
After contacting HR and being told there was nothing that could be done, she turned to Reddit's r/antiwork workplace subreddit community to share her story. Readers sympathized with her experience and shared their thoughts and advice in the comments, and our hearts go out to this worker for their horrific experience.
