Plan to get the boss a gift?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
If you’re making a list and checking it twice, one person might be missing - your boss.
In tough economic times, giving your boss a Christmas gift can create an awkward situation for both parties.
Avoid potential office landmines. Don’t, for example, buy your boss a gift that is too personal. Items of clothing and alcohol are no-nos. Consider a small token she can put on her desk - a calendar or an organizer.
The website eHow makes these suggestions:
Ask about your company’s gift-giving policy.
Set your spending limit… keep the gift thoughtful, but less than $20.
Do you plan to buy your boss a gift and if so, how much will you spend? Which gifts work best? If you’re the boss, have you ever gotten a gift that made you feel uncomfortable?
