My secretary is out sick today. I'm giving her a hard time on e-mail.

I bought my boss one of those Burger King omelet sammiches. Of course I expensed it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[Sluss]

I got cookies.

Of course I pay the guy crap.




Maybe I shouldn't have eaten those cookies.

My girlfriend's roommate, who has some uber-corporate job in pharmaceuticals, bought her bosses gifts. I almost threw up in my mouth. If I ever get to the point where I'm buying my boss presents for anything, remind me to kill myself.

I have historically given my bosses small gifts at Christmas. Is this standard?

For years our boss never gave us anything and we reciprocated. Then a new VP was hired in our group and he convinced everyone to pitch in for a gift certificate to the boss's favorite restaurant.

Right before the holiday, we give our boss the card with the gift certificate in it. After he opens and reads it, he makes this attempt at humor, "You all didn't have to do this. Making your lives miserable every day is thanks enough for me." Cue awkward silence. Oddly, we haven't gotten him anything since.

I've never done this.

My staff was unaware.

My announcing it to the room didn't seem to have much of an affect.

Damn, I didn't get anything either. My employees work from home though, so I got screwed.
