I work for a small business that only opened last year. The owners are a husband and wife team and the wife is the manager. As it's coming up to our one year anniversary the husband has suggested that we all chip in to buy a present for the manager for all her hard work and dedication.
Now let me just start by saying that I like my manager and she does work bloody hard. I see the times she replies to emails, 2am, 6am etc. But it is her business and it is the first year, she should be working hard to make it succeed!
I wouldn't mind putting in a tenner but he has suggested £20 as he wants to get her a £120 pen and a £70 notepad! I wouldn't pay this out of principle that it is a ridiculous amount of money. Three other staff members have said no and two have coughed up. I'm not against getting her a gift but I'm against the present suggestion. I feel that he thinks he should get her something (as she does all the work) and we all have to pay for it!
