    Employees pressured by HR to pitch in $20 for the CEO's Christmas present: '[He makes] at least 5x what I make!'

    Typically around the holiday season, corporate employers bosses go out of their way to make it seem like their employees are treated well. This can manifest itself in several ways, from treating time off like it's a luxury and not a right to extravagant, over-the-top Holiday parties that might make employees feel better if it weren't for the fact that the budget for said party could probably be used to pay employees better, but we digress… 

    Here, we have a team of employees who weren't given any of those "benefits." Instead, they were pressured by their HR representatives to each pitch in $20 for Christmas gifts for their CEO and CTO. These are the same folks who make at least five times what their employees make, as this Redditor pointed out. Shouldn't they be pitching in some of their own money for gifts to their employees?

    Keep scrolling below for the full story and for some commentary from yours truly. For more, check out this story about an employee who reported a ridiculous incident with a coworker to their CEO.
