You’re right. Etiquette says that gifts at work should flow downward, not upward. That rule exists because of the power dynamics in the boss/employee relationship. Otherwise, an employee might feel pressured to purchase gifts for a manager, and it’s not okay for managers to benefit from the relationship in that way.
Your company owner is a terrible person, and whoever is trying to make this mandatory is out of their gourd. Frankly, even insisting on $5 donations for a gift for the boss would be out of line — but demanding $60 from someone who says that it’s out of their budget is a whole new level of awful. But if you do receive a gift from an employee despite this, it’s okay to accept it graciously as long as it’s not extravagantly expensive. You definitely don’t want to make anyone feel bad ; you just want to ensure no one feels obligated to buy you presents.
‘Can I send a gift to a potential employer?’ A manager at a previous job who I used to work with recently got a promotion. She’s in the process of adding personnel to her department, and reached out to me about bringing me back to the company to work for her. It’s a great opportunity, but she won’t be able to interview me until January.
