New employee refuses to contribute to a coworker-run “social fund” after coworker repeatedly dodges her requests for a simple spending breakdown, tension rises as coworkers label her stingy: 'Nobody else needs this level of detail'

If anyone is asking you for a 'donation', you have a right to know where every last cent is going. Whether that's a "mission" for the collector or not. And if they refuse to provide you with a payment breakdown…you have every right to decline the invitation to donate. Now, some people may label you stingy while you place your hand up against the envelope in refusal. But again, if you do not know where your money is going, how does one know it's truly being used for good…and not to pay for some rich man's fifth vacation this year…Well, the fact is, you'll never know unless you demand to, and that's exactly what this employee did!

After being fairly new to the company, and already participating in the coworker-run "social fund", this employee was eager to get her budgeting underway, and in addition, wanted to know exactly where and how her work donations were being used…But when she asked the fund's collector to send her a breakdown of the transactions, he avoided the question as if it were the plague, constantly changing the subject. Whilst somehow still having the nerve to ask her for this month's donations. Just because he had a calculating smile spread across his face, did not mean that she was not on to him…and whatever little scheme he had running.

Her coworkers labelled her as selfish, unwilling to contribute to the office…The thing is, she was quite happy to contribute; she just wanted to know what the money would be spent on. Is that a fair enough ask, or is she starting off her new job in an untrustworthy and demanding light?

AITA for refusing to cover a shared cost after my coworker wouldn’t show me the break of what the money had gone towards so far?
