'It's voluntary, but has a "mandatory" vibe': Temp employee gets harangued for refusing to contribute a $25 donation for his boss's birthday lunch; goes straight to HR

When employees are struggling to get a raise, fighting for overtime pay, nitpicking for a day more of PTO, it really grinds their gears when the out of touch boss asks THEM for money. However, as we all know, the audacity of C-level management and supervisors knows no bounds. CEO's and bosses everywhere are always trying to boost the team's morale or 'build company culture', but half the time, they lack the basic humanity to even understand how to do that.

Usually, in most cases, these 'team building events' actually drive a wedge even further between management and the employees because bosses are so dissociated from the struggles of real world folks who live paycheck-to-paycheck, renting an apartment, and buying their own groceries.

Unfathomable!

So in this story, when a temp worker had been praised left and right for his good work, he thought that perhaps the company would reciprocate a little loyalty and offer him an in-house job. Instead, they asked him to contribute $25 to pay for his boss's birthday cake.

Scroll for the full furious tale of rebellion and audacious managerial fumbles that cost one company a star-employee.
