[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you're being petty sitting here and stewing over the money you lost. You did not give this gift with a generous heart. She said thank you when she received the gift. How much more ego stroking do you want? [/quote]

This. She said thank you, she just didn't gush and fawn over you because of it. I'm not a hugely expressive person, and I hope that my bosses know that when I calmly say thank you once for a gift, that that thank you is meant. I'm not going to jump up and down, scream or giggle, say that you a million times. Its just not me. I also don't think there's any such thing as a "soft" thank you. She thanked you. Move on, or let her know that you only give gifts to people who fall on their knees with thanks for you and kiss your feet. [/quote] I am not very expressive in person either. Haven't been the kind to jump up and down with excitement in many many years. But, i still own a pen and paper/stationary in addition to a computer and smartphone, all of which are capable of of communicating gratitude. I worked for my family a little over two months for three days a week and they gave me two and a half days pay. Of course I am going to acknowledge that! One line by email and a longer note on paper. It's not that hard and goes a long way in building goodwill.[/quote]

I'm sorry I just don't think thank you notes for Christmas gifts, ie. an occasion where we are exchanging gifts, its not one sided, warrant a thank you note. I gave a verbal thank you when I recieved my gift, as did they when I gave them their gifts. The end. MBs that get bonuses, do you write a thank you note for it? [/quote] Did you not read OPs post? She didn't open the check in front of her. That's what we're talking about...not gifts that were opened in front of each other. Even then etiquette states a note should be written but most people would give a pass for it. We're talking about a sum of money that OP gave her in a card that was not opened in front of her.[/quote]
