Comment I give my people stuff (Score 1) 406
I'm a QA director at a medium sized business messaging company (~2000 folks).
Last year was my first year with the company and we all got a $25 amex gift card. And to add insult to injury, if you didn't use it in 3 months it expired.
I buy some things (out of my own pocket) for my 9 staff -- usually some nice wine, gift baskets, and the like. I think its asinine to not give some sort of bonus for the staff.
Anyway, Merry Christmas.
