'My coworker has A LOT of nerve': Employee mentions she can't afford to contribute to boss' holiday gift until next pay-period, coworkers get snarky

It's the holiday season, and that means it's going to be an extra expensive month. You would think that this would be a good time in the office for the boss to show appreciation to their employees with a gift or two. I mean, the boss is making more money, so it's the least they could do, right? It's not very common for the employees, who make way less than the boss, to get an expensive gift for the person they work for. That being said, sometimes you have a very generous and sincerely friendly boss that you want to do something nice for. So the office can pool together and get a little something something. (Though, we are of the sound and mind of there being a policy against employees giving gifts to the boss, since that can be taken as bribery…) However, if you are working at a place that pays you just enough that you're living paycheck to paycheck, then you should definitely put your life essentials first. Like, that seems like common knowledge, does it not?

Turns out there are some simp employees who would roll their eyes at you if you didn't throw down the rest of you paycheck to get your rich boss a holiday gift. This Redditor came to vent about just this. She told her coworkers she couldn't afford to contribute to pay for the boss holiday gift until the next pay-period and instead of being understanding, they got snarky. It's almost as bad as this time a coworker yelled at their fellow server for not giving a good tip, even though they tip 60% of the bill. Like, the audacity of some of these coworkers!
