Did you give your boss a Xmas/Holiday gift? (1 Viewer)

[IC FBGCav]

Yes.

 

[The General]

Yes. He's a friend but doesn't hurt to kiss a little ### either.

 

[IC FBGCav]

Yes. He's a friend but doesn't hurt to kiss a little ### either.

Same here, he is the owner too. Worked together for 18 years. I have worked there longer than any other employee.

 

[NutterButter]

What's the "yes from group" option mean?

 

[IC FBGCav]

He has everything he wants, so I went with the Starbucks card as he likes coffee and they are right up the street from our office. What did you do?

At my wife's work they all pitch in and give a gift as a group.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I assume the boss makes more money so it should be the other way around.

Well he did that, ie gave the company a bonus. Doesn't mean I can't show him appreciation on a lower scale.

 

[The General]

Yeah. Pretty much.

In my situation my boss has a 4 kids and an ex-wife who cleaned him out in brutal fashion. I figure he needs a bottle.

Good enough.

 

[IC FBGCav]

Yes, bottle of Fireball whiskey. Fortunately his bossing is better than his taste in alcohol.

I am out of likes but this would get one.

I totally misread the thread title. I thought it said "did you receive a christmas bonus". Hell no then. I don't give gifts to non-family.

 

[Mors Venit]

I opted instead to donate money to a poor family that my company was collecting money for to buy them and their children gifts.

I gave 25% of my bonus. Wasnt a lot by any means but i was happy to do it.

Otherwise what the heck would i buy for a millionaire?

 

[Baloney Sandwich]

No, he is a nice enough guy but he can lick my balls of he wants a gift from me.

Just showing appreciation. I didn't went I got a turkey for a bonus at another company, I was like 26, knew the manager got 20k. It pissed me off plus it is not worth the hassle of keeping up with a defrosting piece of bacteria filled poultry all day that you have no place to put.

Big no-no where I work. To bad because my boss is awesome. But it is strictly forbidden and we get the warning email ahead of time every year.

Would be my policy if i ever own a business.

 

[xulf]

I made both owners hundreds of thousands of dollars. That's the gift that keeps on giving.

 

[TheAristocrat]

No.

 

[FinHead]

I gave everyone on my team something, but never thought of giving anything to my boss. I always plan on passing down, not up?

I get that, I am 2nd in command so....plus I recommend what the company gives to all.

 

[Keerock]

No... but I did give to my direct reports...

 

[Cjw_55106]

No....I assume the company would frown upon that.

Sort of along these lines. We do a group dirty Santa exchange.

I like my boss a lot, one of the best I've had.

 

[sublimeone]

I gave all of my employees $100 Amazon gift cards. One person gave me a bottle of $20 champagne.

 

[Juxtatarot]

Wow, I would have thought the poll results would be reversed.

 

[Cjw_55106]

You expected "no I hate the SOB!" to get 71%?

 

[AAABatteries]

We do end of the year reviews/evaluations. I'd feel like he'd take it as I was sucking up to get a good review.

 

[Tom Servo]

As a member of BIG ELECTRICITY, such practices are frowned upon. If I had to, a bottle of booze would suit my boss just fine.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Made a donation to The Human Fund in her name.

 

[Courtjester]

Gift card to a restaurant for her and $20 Target gift cards for each of her two kids.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

My boss gave a gift to my boss' boss last year. Gift declined.

This. I gave gift cards to stores I know my direct reports frequent. It was really easy since we're in IT and they're all huge gaming nerds. Most got Playstation Store cards, a card to a local board game store, or Amazon.com cards for the rest. Didn't get my boss anything.
