If you are thinking to yourself, should I get my boss a Christmas gift?\u00a0 The answer is no, no and, I repeat, a big fat no! Except that sometimes the answer is a maybe and sometimes it can even be a yes.<\/p>\n
Ok, let me \u2018splain Lucy.\u00a0 Let\u2019s face it; no one really wants to buy their boss a Christmas gift.\u00a0 You don\u2019t really like your boss all that much because, well, he\u2019s the one that just keeps piling the work on you.\u00a0 And then you\u2019re supposed to spend your hard-earned cash on a gift for him?\u00a0 I don\u2019t think so.\u00a0 In my opinion, if anyone is going to buy gifts, it should be the bosses buying for the employees.\u00a0 I really think gift-giving in general is way over the top in most organizations and mostly unnecessary.\u00a0 However, it can be a nice way for a boss to show appreciation for his employees.\u00a0 Preferable the gift is a nice, big cash bonus but smaller gifts are certainly nice too.<\/p>\n
There are times though when you do have a great relationship with your boss and you do want to show some extra appreciation to him with a Christmas gift.\u00a0 Heck, you may even love your boss!\u00a0 In these cases, you may want to spring for a Christmas gift as a gesture.\u00a0 If you are part of team that works under the same boss, it\u2019s usually best to stick to group gifts from all of you.\u00a0 You don\u2019t want to appear to be trying to score brownie points or be a brown-nose.\u00a0 Even if it is a group gift, keep it on the small side and preferably something that the boss can use at the office.<\/p>\n
In the end, I guess what I am saying is anything goes but you should bear in mind both the culture of the organization and the relationship you have with your boss before you decide Christmas gift or no Christmas gift?<\/p>\n
Happy shopping, or not!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you are thinking to yourself, should I get my boss a Christmas gift?\u00a0 The answer is no,…","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1296,1316,536],"tags":[542],"class_list":{"0":"post-7477","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-tips-and-trends","7":"category-office-wellness-tips-and-trends","8":"category-christmas-in-the-office","9":"tag-christmas-gifts","10":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"\n
