    Surely you'd know how roughly true it is based on how you are treated on a daily basis?

    Think it has got to be newish colleagues having a wind up as just weird how they all buy into it

    Someone pulling you're chain OP or the benefits must be good? :D

    Haaaaaha, thats so funny.

    I bet you the MD's buy the wife and boss presents in return while you mugs get paid less and buy presents.

    I started a job recently and decided to skip secret santa because i dont know them well enough never mind buying bosses a present, thats made me chuckle. Thanks.

    Wow how cheeky! I'm sure they are paid handsomely and if they like to keep the spirit up, they can give all the staff a small gift instead. It would be tax deductable too probably.

    I'd refuse and then start looking for another job. I've never heard such a cheeky request! I'd also leave a company with a 'no lunch break' culture or one of those where your expected to do lots of unpaid overtime for no particular reason.

    If anything I'd suggest it should be the directors chipping in for the staff but I certainly wouldn't expect it.

    But, there's nowt so queer as a private sector boss in a smallish company. They're a breed of their own and are often bizarre, tyrannical and Hitleresque.

    Oi missus, some of us cuddly and helpful:D.

    One of the lads bought me a butty the other day - he insisted.

    On the other hand, I'd done the rounds of what bottle do you want, chucked £200.00 into the drinks kitty ( they've arranged a night out ) and there will be a bonus in Xmas week wages. So I guess a butty balances it out:p

    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

    Do you get an end of year bonus? If so, handing over £5 would not be a problem in my eyes
