I’m prepared that I might be flamed for this but here goes.
i work for a large organisation but in a relatively smallish team. Over the past 5 years I’ve been there I’ve organised presents for people and contributed to even more. We’ve had 40th birthdays, 50th birthdays, retirements, new babies, new houses, a wedding and a couple more things.
anyway, I turned 40 on Tuesday and I’ve not had a single thing from them. I don’t know what to think. My boss asked last week what I was up to last weekend and I mentioned that it was my 40th on Tuesday and I was going out with my family for dinner on Sunday. I was in the office on Tuesday and no mention of it.
after all the time and effort I’ve gone to in organising numerous gifts for people (including my boss for his 40th) and all the money I’ve contributed I feel a bit hurt that it wasn’t reciprocated. I’m thinking that in future I’m not contributing to anymore gifts.
am I being ridiculous?
