It’s always tough when you’re sort of pressured to contribute to things you can’t really afford. The best I can say is give what you can no matter the... amount and don’t worry about it. When you can give more do so, but you giving and barely making it does no good or makes any sense! more

You don't have to do these events at work, they are optional. don't give anything if you don't want to. You may not get anything on your birthday, but... who cares. more

If youd like to appear thoughtful you can offer to buy the card ($2-$6) or you buy one bulk box of birthday cards (1 time cost $20) or if theres... always a 'birthday coordinator' give them a one time 'donation' of say $50 and tell them to decide how to dole that out as the year goes on.

Or politely say no (excuses: Im saving up for something, Im helping out with a family issue, Id like to give more to charity this year.) Do this a few times (always for the same 'reason') and theyll stop asking.

Want to be the hero? Figure out who else cant afford this company generosity and coordinate ALL of you saying no. more
