  Speaker 1: We need the incredible LIGHTFM listeners to help us. We're
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: taking a PROMPTU survey here. Are you going to give
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: your boss a gift? Yes, that's simple, that's the question
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: we have. It's Kubby, Christine, producer Christiane. We're just chatting
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and we do kind of have a new boss. So Jill,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: our boss worked here years ago. She was the assistant
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: program director, and then she left for a while to
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: do some la work at our company and now she's back.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: So technically to me, she's kind of like a new boss,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: even though we've known her for a long time. She
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: got here over the summer. Do we get her a gift? Jill?
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: If you're tuned in, what do you want?
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, give us some ideas, Jill. Seriously, no, what do
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: you do?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Like what do you give a boss like wine?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I mean that's always been hard, right because well, first
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: of all, we always go to the experts, the workplace experts,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: who say you don't you are not obligated to give
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: your boss a gift, Jill. This isn't about you. This
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: is all in general. Okay, we as the employee, we're
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: not expected to give the bosses a gift. As a
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: matter of fact, it's more vice versa.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: But oh, Jill, what are you getting out?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: But they say, you're actually discouraged to give the boss
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: a gift because that could appear that you're going for
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: favoritism or you know that you're vuying for some other reasons.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: And this is why it's so hard what to do.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: It makes it tough. So they said, if you still
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: want to do it, check your company's policy or employee
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: handbook to see if there's any rules against gifting your
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: supervisor good wine. There may be a technicality there.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Got to find the handbook.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I know, find the handbook.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: But Texas at four four three six three, what do
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you do?
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, do you give your boss a gift? And what
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: do you get? So our boss before Jill loved wine,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: so that was kind of easy, like it just got
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: him like a fancy bottle of wine.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Right, and then I think he gave me one of
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: your bottles as we were moving out years ago. Probably yeah, yeah,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: he had a lot in his office.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Well, because what else you going to get the guy
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: who has practically everything, he's getting a lot of bottles
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: of wine.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: But still, you know what you made the you showed
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: that you thought of him something you made the effort.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: The card is there, the card is there and everything. Yeah,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I say it's okay, I really do.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: But what are we getting?
