How do I get my coworker to start either paying for stamps he asks me for or stop asking me for them?

1 Answer

Answer :

I think you either have to decide this is something that is important enough to you to ask him to either pay you for future stamps or stop asking you for them or if it isn’t that important decide if you can afford to sponsor his postage. There is always the opportunity to lie and tell him he used all of what you had as well and if he wants to give some money to you, you will go and get some more to keep at work.
