'I'm getting weird looks from colleagues after refusing to chip in for boss' leaving gift'

An intern who refused to chip in for their boss' expensive leaving gift is now receiving weird looks from their colleagues.

The woman posted on Reddit to explain the situation, stating that as an intern at a big company, not earning a huge amount of money, she didn't think it was expected of her to cough up cash for the gift. She added that she doesn't know her colleagues well, and will only be at the company for two months, the Mirror reports.

However, since ignoring the request to chip in, she's receiving weird looks from her fellow workers, who she suspects disapprove of her behaviour.
