We have a voluntary payroll deduction option that goes into a fund that pays out when employees have babies or get married. As part of the paperwork to authorize the payroll deduction, the events and amounts are listed. I think it's a $50 gift card for a wedding and $50 for a baby.

The fund goes toward retirements and stuff like that. I personally don't contribute to it because our company has several locations and our location is a very small portion of the overall company and we rarely have weddings/babies in our office (although there were 2 babies this year).

What irks me though is that the goal of this fund is to prevent favoritism and getting hit up for cash all the time, but it still happens. In fact, there were 2 ladies that had babies this year, one was thrown a baby shower at work and the other wasn't. And for the one that was given a shower, a group email was sent around and the people were called out on the group email chain on the amount contributed or if they didn't participate.

My work just doesn't handle it appropriately.

End rant.
