[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a doctor, and when I was pregnant I explicitly told my office manager not to have any parties or showers for me. A surprise "sprinkle" was thrown, and I felt so mortified and ashamed that my staff, many of whom make 20x less than I do, would spend money on me. I tried to make it up to them by increasing their holiday bonuses, etc., but I just remember feeling so embarrassed about the whole situation.[/quote] I think this is different and I can see why you were uncomfortable! It sounds like you are the boss at the office. There are ethical and other concerns with gifts for supervisors that don't come into play with friends and family. [/quote]
