Vent on DH's behalf

[MommyG3]

DH came home from work yesterday and gave me some news. Normally, the people in his area take up $$$ for people who are in the hospital or who has a family member in the hospital or anyone whose realative has had surgery. Well, you know I had the LEEP done. We didn't receive anything from the plant. We didn't think too much about it, but DH mentioned it to others that they didn't take up for us. They have gone so far as to get $$$ for someone's nephew that didn't live with that person. It got back to DH that the supervisor told another co-worker that I probably had a dentist appointment that day and he skipped work. Well, DH will no longer donate for others because of this. I told DH to be sure and tell them I am having minor complications. gggggggggrrrrrrrrrr. I was better off not knowing this mess...but not surprised. One lady told someone she hated my husband and wouldn't give him anything anyway.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.................I don't think it's fair to anyone to do this. Eventually someone gets left out. Like right now they are having a retirement party for someone in a couple of weeks. They want at least $30.00 for the gift. There's no mention as to what it is and the person already stated CLEARLY they didn't want to have a party.

I won't do it unless I want to. Why should anyone make me feel obligated?

Has surgery 2 years ago all we had was grief...............Aggie took off to stay home w/me. He's the LAN ADMIN. there. You'd think the place was fallig apart in 5 days. Phone never stopped ringing.

Didn't receive even a card and I work there, too.

No, keep your money. You can use it for something you know will be there, what you want, need.

If someone wants to bring a gift that's their option. Don't be forced or feel obligated to donate. That's just not fair. Some-not all really can't afford it...........................Then, there's what if you really don't care for this person thing :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

i totally understand how you feel...I worked in a place that always domated money or sent flower arrangements when family members died...when my Grandfather died, they didn't sent a card or an arrnagement or anything, and I was totally devisted by losing my grandfather. All they were worried about was how long I was going to be gone because my desk was piling up with things that needed to be done.....I stopped giving after that!

sorry to hear that, at my DH's former job when things like surgery's new births, deaths in an employees family, the employees got together to pitch in what they could. When my Abigail was born DH was only there 10 months at that time and the guys brought him $100.00 gc for Toys R US and $100 cash. we were so surprised and grateful. Regularly once a month or so this still happens at his new job which is so nice to give. and receive :)
They raised $1000 for the Red Cross after 9/11 and give to the O.C. Boys club $3,000 a year which is matched by the company each year.

(((((MommyG3 and husband))))) That is just rude of that lady to say that. That is just so mean. I would be angry too!

I know how you feel. I always gave to everyone too when they came around. Then when I was out because my dad died. A coworker came and gave me a card with 25.oo in it. It was a huge place and I was told he put 20.00 to it because he didnt want me to feel bad? Then why tell me that. :( After that I didnt give any more either.
