First of all, I don't believe that employees should feel pressure to crowdfund a retirement gift for a colleague. Although it's a nice sentiment from your work besties to pitch in for a send-off gift, ensuring that everyone in the office feels the pressure to contribute defeats the purpose altogether. Although this is likely the norm in many offices, it still rubs me the wrong way to begin with.

Because why would you financially support a coworker who's been nothing but ruthless, ruining the work environment for the last several years? If anything, this young professional should be kicking Linda's office chair out the door on her way out. Sayonara, Linda! It'll be great to never see you again!

Peer pressure goes a long way in most circumstances. However, when it's fundamentally against your beliefs to pay for someone's fancy retirement gift, resisting the pressure from colleagues is more important than giving in. Stand up for yourself, sis, we're all rooting for you! Nobody likes a Linda in the office and it's nice to see that someone is willing to put their foot down for injustice.
Because lord knows I would struggle to say, “No,” as a complete sentence, but sometimes that's the best answer you can give.
