So, Less Than $15?
We told you that you’d see another dreaded $15 gift from an employer. It’s nice that the boss included a kind-worded message to show the OP how much they meant to them. Please note that we’re using the work nice very loosely here. If we’re honest, we hate everything about this gift, especially the very end of the message.
The OP didn’t actually receive a full $15. The government had to get its share of the gift, leaving the OP with a total of $14, give or take. And they didn’t even receive the money there and then! They had to wait until their next paycheck! Utterly disgusting.
