My current line manager did me a favour (gave me the contact details of someone who could give advice on a non work related matter). I got her an inexpensive bunch of flowers on the way to work to say a small thanks. Spent the day working, at the end of the day popped into her office to ask something and saw the flowers were on someone else’s desk. I didn’t actually think anything of it until she said “Colleague is taking the flowers home for me because she lives across the road” (FYI boss doesn’t live a long commute away, she also lives within walking distance of workplace)
am I being unfair to think WTF 😂 I got her some flowers and she gave them away to a colleague?! Blimey if they weren’t her thing she could have waited until I’d left for the day to pass them on or even just binned them en route home, is it just me or is that a bit off to literally give the flowers I’ve gifted her to a colleague while I’m still there and then tell me she’s done it?!
