Usch, vissa är hemska. Fick lite ont i magen när jag läste den här:
"This week my colleagues and I (all 135 of us) were mystified to find elaborate wedding invitations on our desks- we didn't know who the bride and groom were. Turns out our boss' son is getting married. Of course many of us declined as we don't know this person. I sent a nice note and a small gift with my apologies and well wishes (which I thought was generous considering the impersonal nature of the mass invitation to total strangers).
The next day the office staff came around with a clipboard to ensure that everyone had paid the right amount as a wedding present if you were not coming-a substantial amount was quoted! Yes, your name was ticked off and your demanded 'gift' listed. Of course, if you were attending, the amount was tripled. Again, the amount to be given was specified. Again, substantial. I spend less on friends' weddings and I am no scrooge. I suppose we should be grateful. At least office staff were allowed to give a smaller amount due to their smaller wage. It's hard not to feed the gimme pigs when they are your boss, but this family has earned universal contempt and resentment for their efforts. Talk about abusing your position of power to milk the 'little people'. I hope they choke on the wedding cake my colleagues and I paid for!"
