What's the worst year-end gift you've ever received from work? I think mine was a Christmas ornament, celebrating an event that I didn’t attend.

I’m really sorry. I was a manager for LA weight loss back in the day and they told us on a conference call a week before Christmas that they were filing bankruptcy and closing up shop in 2 days, without any forewarning
. I was also pregnant at the time which made it that much more tragic.

I had an MD really go out of his way to collect all the team members’ addresses to give personalized holiday gifts to each person.

All that, only to not get anything from him. So, if anything, I was the only person giving in that transaction.

$15 gift card PERIOD

During the pandemic, I worked in healthcare risking my life, before we really knew anything about Covid and people were terrified of it I was on the front lines. Well it’s Christmas Eve and a UPS truck pulls into my driveway and I’m not expecting anything and I get so excited and there’s a box and I opened it up and there was a card that says, “We couldn’t have made it through the last few months without you. Here is a token of our appreciation.” it was a Crappy water bottle, the kind that disintegrated the first time I put it in my dishwasher. Guarantee they paid more for the holiday delivery.

Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.
My manager doesn't interact much with us. I consider myself as some one who has worked hard for project and other intiatives. Should I ask my manager to consider me and if yes how should I initiate it.
Part of MC team.

Thank you.

Hello, I am a junior business administrator working in advisory operations. I have been with the company for 6 months, and was employed along with 2 other colleagues. I have picked the job up really fast and am even doing some “extra curricula’s” I really love my job. However I have recently found out I am being paid the same as an apprentice on my team, I usually do at 3 x the work he does whilst also doing my Cert CII. It has really disheartened me and I feel I should be earning more money
