Question for the few bosses who post here. I'm new at this whole boss thing having just made full 50/50 partner last year. We have 3 employees, an assistant and two receptionists. we give them nice holiday bonuses. Should I also give them a small gift like a gift card or is the bonus enough from a boss? I think they are going to get me something, like a bottle of booze or something like that. My dad says the bonus is enough, but he's old school. Is that common or should I also give a small gift. The bonuses are good, 3 weeks of salary. Or at least I think that's good, don't really have a frame of reference to compare it to.
Get them a small gift. It's much more personal.



oh Gawd. It's an employer-employee relationship. Nobody wants to be too close to their boss. As an employee, u shut up, be quiet, and do what ur told without complaining.

Given the choice, I'd rather the 4 hours of pay and a nice meal than a giftcard.


When I was young, I never understood the concept of gift cards. I would always wonder why the person didn't just give me the cash and let me spend it anywhere. Hell, some gift cards even have a fee!



And so what changed ur view on this? What really is the advantage of a gift card when ur forced to use it at a specific store?

thats ok. Its your job to ALSO be old school. YOU are the boss. YOU tell 'em how it's gonna be. YOU teach 'em the old-school way so that they learn to live with it.

I'll be damned if some employees or gonna dictate to ME how I'm gonna run my business.

Hopefully somebody gives you a noose for Christmas, and then somebody else explains how to use it.
