Got my first office job at almost 40 and was completely unaware that people in office settings just give coworkers money for random shit. (old.reddit.com)

So apparently, people in offices just pass around a collection card when anyone remotely in the department's orbit gets married, has a kid, retires etc etc.

Basically any major life event, regardless of my relationship to someone, I'm getting asked to chip in 10, 20 bucks because this person works within 5 cubicles of me.

How is this a thing? Like who just has money to give someone they only speak to for 5 mins in a week?

Edit: typo.

Coworker had family in Hawaii during the fire a few years ago. I said hi to her once. I gave her family $100.
