I work at a place where the owners make money by billing insirance. They bill over $100 an hour while most employees are lucky to make $20 with paltry PTO. The HR person is asking us each to contribute to buy the owner husband and wife tickets to a Broadway play that run upwards of $300. These owners live in a fancy house in an upscale suburb. We are also being asked to write affirmations for an “affirmations calendar”, whatever the hell that is. This feels gross and coerced and I'm not interested. I ignored the group social media msg about the tickets but now HR is singling me out by text. What is the best response?
