Callybags: To clarify - I work in the public sector in a super-safe job (trust me). If I had a self-employed boss struggling to stay in business, believe me I would support such a person and make a gesture.
I just wouldn't donate. It's up to the others what they do.
It wouldn't really bother me.
What a strange tradition. Sounds like a lord of the manor arrangement , that you should be grateful and doff your cap at all times. Very odd.No, I didn't make a typing mistake when typing his salary!
My boss's secretary has asked colleagues (about 7 of us) to donate towards the boss's xmas present. Last year (I only joined this June) they gave him a "good bottle of cognac".
I have never in all my working life bought a Christmas present for any boss and don't want to start now.
I have sent an email to all colleagues suggesting we instead donate the collection to a charity. Not that I'm a goody two-shoes but I'm damned if I'm going to be seen to be sucking up to the boss ! He is taking us out for lunch next week, but proper order !
Has this happened to you? How did you handle it?
Our boss buys us nothing (9 staff).
