Why is it a horrible gift for an employee? I don't get it. Most employees get a $25-50 gift certificate to the local grocery store for Christmas... if I were the employee I would much rather have the luggage, thats a nice gift.Originally posted by NoCarrierLuggage is not a bad gift, but it's a stupid and horrible gift for an employee. It's like giving blenders to your wife or a brand new mop to a janitor.. Give gift certificates or a great bonus.. Luggage?!?! WTF??!?! What the hell was he thinking?!
You're an anti-cheerleader. Cheerleaders follow someone around and praise someone no matter how stupid they are. Anti-cheerleaders follow someone around and dog someone no matter the issue at hand. I know quite a few people that don't like SleazyDream, but they don't follow him around and chastise his every move. I hear knitting is quite therapeutic, maybe you should give it a shot.Vacares - Web Hosting, Domains, O365, Security & More - Paxum and BTC Accepted

You're an idiot. If Sleazydream gave them EVERYTHING else than a stupid luggage, I wouldn't reply to this thread. Especially since he's wondering why he/she gave it back to him.Originally posted by SlyWhy is it a horrible gift for an employee? I don't get it.

You just don't give luggage to an employee, like I previously mentionned, it's like giving a brand new mop to a janitor or a brand new keyboard to a secretary..
If you're too dumb to understand my point of view it's not my fucking problem, you should take a walk for fresh air or have a nice cup of tea and do some thinking..Comment

You should reserve your opinion until Sleazy answers the question about his current/past relationship with that employee.Comment

I'm a Sleazy brown noser?Originally posted by NoCarrierNo, because most people in this thread are biased. They simply Sleazydream's brown nosers, just like yourself.

Luggage is not the coolest present ever trust me...my parents got some one year from my grandparents and laughed about it when they got home...they took it back to the store that my grandparents bought it from and used the credit. They were too nice though to tell my grandparents that luggage sucks.Comment

I bought my girlfriend a Bread Maker. I think it is a great gift. She is expecting a ring, or something . . . so she will really be surprised!
I will be soooo pissed if she doesn't love it.Comment

No idea why luggage is like a mop. I do not think this person is expected to travel with Sleazy. I like luggage as a gift as most people do not blow cash on it for themselves. Cool gift.
Sleazy, just my two cents but use this to get closer to the employee. Kind of a why did you give it back? Maybe they are super comfortable with you as a person and did it to be truly helpful. It was too much cash? They do not like you and wanted to show it? Bad deal but possible. Might work out to be a good thing.Comment

Actually it's a pretty nice and usefull gift... very nice gift for an employeOriginally posted by NoCarrierWhat's so fucking strange about it? Giving luggage to an employee is fucking lame. He's lucky the employee didn't throw that stupid, idiotic, lame ass gift to Sleazydream's gigantic gut. That would teach him to treat his employees like dumbass morons.Originally posted by rayadp05I rebooted, deleted temp files, history, cookies and everything...still cannot view the news clip.

I'll take it ;)
They kept the rest of the stuff so it's not like they have that "i don't want to accept anything from you cos i don't like you" attitude.
It's indeed a weird thing to do so, but obviously that person doesn't think about it that way.
Luggage is a nice gift tho, something everybody can useSpank me
Dude, where's my traffic?Comment

Useful?! WTF?! Do his employees travel every day or even once a month?! I wouldn't call that useful. Useful is a nice gift certificate or a nice cash bonus. I don't think we have the same vision of what "useful" is.Originally posted by Doctor DreActually it's a pretty nice and usefull gift... very nice gift for an employe
I'm sorry, but luggage is already a lame ass gift. I can't imagine what it is for an employee to receive it.Last edited by NoCarrier; 12-17-2005, 03:49 PM.Comment

So he/she kept the stuff inside and gave back the luggage.
Unless the employee stated he/she wanted new luggage, he/she may of thought it was a hint to find a new job. Who knows
but I would feel odd recieving that type of gift since it could give me a mix message.
If I liked my boss and working within the company, I doubt I would return it and thank him. But, I would be wondering if I should be looking for a new job.

Even if you use it once a year ... you're gonna be really happy when you don't have to buy one.Originally posted by NoCarrierUseful?! WTF?! Do his employees travel every day or even once a month?!

Yeah, a wallet to Elli, a watch to Jman, luggage to his employees.. WTF? Something tells me he's been regifting all that shit or he got a special deal from a stolen truck.Originally posted by tony404Thank you you made me laugh out loud, maybe sleazy is partner in one of those luggage stores in mall. All the gifts he has been giving seem to come from that kind of store .Comment

I suppose the idea of actually giving people something is foreign to you.Originally posted by NoCarrierYeah, a wallet to Elli, a watch to Jman, luggage to his employees.. WTF? Something tells me he's been regifting all that shit or he got a special deal from a stolen truck.
no i don't intend to travel with this employye - but they do travel - on their own - 2-3 times a year or more.
i laugh at the assumptions idiots like nocarrier make - sad really.
i wonder if anyone in his life cared enough about him to give him anything this time of yearThis dog, is dog, a dog, good dog, way dog, to dog, keep dog, an dog, idiot dog, busy dog, for dog, 20 dog, seconds dog!
Now read without the word dog.Comment

Yes, my 6 year old daughter is giving me a gift she made at school and my 18 months old son is too young to give him a gift, but his presence and his love is like a billion gifts.Originally posted by SleazyDreami wonder if anyone in his life cared enough about him to give him anything this time of year
Between the two, I'd rather receive nothing and enjoy spending time with my kids than receive stupid idiotic gifts like luggage.Comment

Where I come from, its very insulting to refuse a gift from someone.
People these days are greedy and selfish and forget that its not the gift, its the thought that counts. They should be happy that you think enough of them to give them a gift in the first place, and graciously accept it. If they dont like it, they can always take it to the store and exchange it for something else.
I would not be offended if someone I gave a gift to exchanged it for something else, but I would be offended if they outright refused it.Comment

Instead of being hurt or offended when someone does not want your gift, you should appreciate his/her honesty.

Agreed. Refusing a gift is an insult and shows a total lack of class.Originally posted by MrPheerWhere I come from, its very insulting to refuse a gift from someone.

I once tried to give our hot receptionist a kiss for Christmas . . . she was hurt and offended. I appreciated her honesty, but the lawsuit was totally unnecessary.
Next time, I'll just be safe and get her something from Victoria's Secret.Comment

Does this same employee give back their salary to you as well? If not...
On a physiological level this means "hey, ill take everything from you that I can get, and give you back the crap I don't want"
Imagine when this employee applies that same logic to sensitive infomation about your business.
This shows their true loyalty to you is either very low, or that they don't respect you enough, or that they know you're a pushover. All comes back to respect really.
You don't want a dis-respectful employee regardless of how hot good looking they may be. If this is the case, you would be smart to "re-distribute" them ASAP.
The last thing you want is for them, or other employees to think they can push you around.Comment

So, if the "gift giver" was giving zero thought to the actual gift(s) and was just using award points from some affiliate program that they were never going to use anyway?Originally posted by MrPheerPeople these days are greedy and selfish and forget that its not the gift, its the thought that counts.
Then, can you just say, "No, thank you."????Comment

Erm, that's the whole point - the person who originally gave you the gift doesn't know you actually put the gift to good useOriginally posted by SlyI wouldn't exactly consider regifting being "gracious" either. My mom would skin me if she ever caught me doing that. In my opinion, regifting behind someone's back is even more rude than giving a gift back.
This situation really depends on how the gift was given back. There are ways to give back gifts, and there are ways to not give back gifts.
What else do you do with a gift you don't want/need? Mine either go to charity (the marble candlestick holders that weigh about 10 pounds each) or I regift (someone gave me a sterling silver dachshund charm necklace, my Mom has a dachshund so I regifted to her) or it sits there doing absolutely no one any good - I'd rather someone get some use out of it

Well, I cant speak for Sleazy, dont know him and never met him. But I can say that if I think of someone highly enough to give them a gift, I'm also going to put some thought into the gift to. I dont know if Sleazy did that or not (I didnt read every post in the thread) but I would be hurt and offended if I gave a gift to someone and they didnt accept it.Originally posted by Hey You . . . I Know You!So, if the "gift giver" was giving zero thought to the actual gift(s) and was just using award points from some affiliate program that they were never going to use anyway?

What?Originally posted by NoCarrierYou have sick gay fantasies. But I only prefer girls sorry.
But since you seem to like it with men, don't be shy, you should ask Sleazydream yourself. I am sure he'll say yes.
I'm not the dick rider here. Sleazy must really be getting to you.
Looks like you have this thread bookmarked or something. Fucking weirdo.

If they had no one else to give it to, then perhaps they would've just thrown it away. So instead, they're thinking, I'll give it back to him so he can return it and at least get his money back.Originally posted by SleazyDreamnope - they said thye didn't have room for it. my thoughts are - re-gift the fucking thing then to someone elseComment

I definitely dont. I have 2 - 3 luggage bags and that's all I ever use. Why would I need more luggage bags? They're quite bulky.Originally posted by Brad MitchellThat's very strange. Otherwise, shoot, who doesn't need new luggage?!

Although I promised your mother I wouldn't tell you, she was offended by that crap gift. She discovered that it wasn't sterling and that it wasn't originally meant for her.
Why would someone give you a silver colored dachshund anyway? What kind of gift is that? Why were you not offended at their thoughtlessness?Comment
