Therapist’s Office Drama: A Battle Over Board Games and Colored Pencils ✏️

Picture this: You’re a children’s therapist, armed with a colorful arsenal of board games, paint, slime kits, and kinetic sand. You’ve just landed a new job, and you’re about to leave behind your old office – and your supplies. You decide to gift some of your toys to a newly graduated colleague, but a senior coworker feels left out. You point out his higher pay and suggest he can afford his own supplies. Now, the office is divided: were you right or wrong? Let’s dive into this intriguing tale of office politics and playdough.

Office Drama or Justifiable Stand? The Internet Weighs In ⚖️

In a world where board games and colored pencils become a battlefield, our therapist found herself in the midst of a heated debate. After deciding to gift her supplies to a less-experienced colleague, she faced backlash from a senior coworker. His argument? He deserved some of the supplies too. Her rebuttal? He earns significantly more and can afford his own. Now, the office is in a tizzy, questioning the appropriateness of discussing pay. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this colorful conflict…

NTA. Therapist’s immaturity raises concerns. Keep therapeutic tools handy

NTA. You bought the supplies, do whatever you want

Employers hate discussing pay to hide underpayment. NTA

NTA! Stand up for yourself and your worth!

NTA but I see this all the time. The last office I worked at the only people who stole and hoarded the occasional free food they would provide made over $100,000. The people who made half that were always grateful for what they got and wanted to make sure everyone got some. Tangentially related given your post: my wife and I both grew up in less-than-affluent home, but both have careers where we make above $100k. It is both of our goals to never turn into *those* people. I am a firm believer in the notion that if you have more than you need, you build a longer table, not a taller fence. Because seriously; how f**king petty do you have to be making a six figure salary and taking more at the expense of your coworkers that make significantly less than you?
