Did Your Boss Get You Anything For Christmas?

[THUNDER HANDS]

I was pleasantly suprised this morning when I came into work and my boss gives me a $50 gift card - to something called Simon, which I think is kinda like a pre-paid credit card.

Now I get to buy that movie "Gigli" and not have to feel bad about spending my money on it. :D

So what did your boss get you?

[Skittles]

1. a Christmas card and 4 chocolates

that's it.

[terrya]

2. Well, he brought in a dozen donuts from Dunkin Donuts today...

Other than that, zip.

3. He went on vacation this week - we are unsupervised.

Best gift he ever gave us!

4. I *am* the boss, and yes, I got everyone something.

I got a small gift for everyone, and gave everyone a cash bonus--- one size fits all, and the color is always right, with cash. :)

And here I thought she hated me.

7. A really long vacation...have not worked since August. We got H&D fruit

when I was there; all the reps got a GC for a ham or a turkey

[Interrobang]

8. Yeah, I got...

Laid off in October. That guy shops early!

[MissMillie]

9. Money

and a lot of it! (He's good about that every year... sure makes it easier to put Christmas under the tree for my boy.)

:party:

10. Well, my wife did do a fair amount of shopping this year....

11. Zip

Zero

And we are facing huge layoffs (again) after the Holidays!

[RebelOne]

12. My company which is a multi-million dollar outfit gave us zero.

But my boss, who is the head of our department and doesn't make much more money then the people under him, gave us each a small, personalized gift. Knowing that I own a Rottweiler, he gave me a 16-month Rottweiler calendar. And last year, since he knows that I am a Stephen King fan, gave me a King book. Though he doesn't have much money himself, he tries to make up to us for what the company doesn't do on Xmas.

14. Your boss sounds like a great guy.

His higher-ups probably think he's not "effective" since he doesn't get grievances lodged against him, right?

[BiggJawn]

13. I got to keep my job for a while longer.

I guess.....Oh, they'll let us off an hour or 2 early tomorrow, but I have to cut-out at lunch and go buy some more shit, so much for that....

15. the firm/my boss

The firm distributed Sony wireless headphones to all staff & associates.

My boss gave me two small gifts, which I'm saving for Xmas morning so there'll be more to unwrap. One is obviously a CD, I'm guessing Joan Osborne, Natalie Merchant, or a movie soundtrack, and the other is, I think, a fetish. (Her practice is in Native American affairs & I share her affinity for such things.)

To ward off the comments, a fetish is a small god carved of stone. Here is a picture of one:

16. The opportunity to keep my job in 2004

:shrug:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

17. Full time staff got Cash bonuses for christmas....

Part timers got a box of those Butter cookies imported from Brazil that you can buy at walmart for 2 bucks. Yeah, I'm a little bitter. Usually we get nothing. We don't even get to go to the Christmas party. I guess I should be happy with our cookies, but dammit, I work my ass off for that place, and all I get for thanks is a fucking box of cookies? It pisses me off.

18. cookies, which I can't eat

cookies, which I can't eat because I can't have sugar (which he knew) What's worse, they foprgot to invite me to the staff Christmas Party so I didn't learn about it until the day after. I feel like Charlie Brown.

19. I'm my own boss this year.

I got me new living room furniture. Just what I wanted - the right size and the right color.

[Dogmudgeon]

20. Yes. Fired.

Long, sickening story, and I probably have the potential to develop it into a half-decent lawsuit.
