I gave a gift to the leader during the Spring Festival, and I was almost expelled, what gift is appropriate to give to the leader during the holiday?
As the old saying goes, there are no gifts for the New Year, and the gifts are light and affectionate. Gifts are inevitably faux pas, and it is difficult to escape the suspicion of being weak if you don't send them. How to balance the two and make positive energy joyful?
After his retirement, my colleague Xiao Gao recalled the most terrifying Spring Festival: a few days before the Spring Festival, my superior leader, Director Lin, was appointed by his superiors as the new chairman of the company. This is a great joy, especially for me, a young person who has just grown into a section chief. Now Director Lin has to help me a little, maybe I can take the opportunity to realize a little career ideal.
Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind - the festival is coming, take this opportunity to enjoy a hard vegetable feast, relax your muscles and bones, and also pull a network, Director Lin will definitely send a good person card, and there may be a surprise when the time comes.
So I gathered more than a dozen business backbones who were familiar with Director Lin, gathered two tables of people, and decided to lead everyone to help Director Lin clean up. When I informed Director Lin, he politely avoided him: he said that he had a position after all, and he had to perform his duties and responsibilities, and he couldn't indulge himself too much.
I explained that this is a meaningful way to convey holiday wishes. Director Lin no longer shirked, and promised to bring his family to the banquet. I took the opportunity to suggest that we have a heart, and I believe that he will also understand God.
So we privately scraped together 2,000 yuan from our respective salaries, and I planned to put it directly into a gray gift box and give it to Director Lin's wife.
Who knew that Director Lin would come over without bringing his family. I panicked, wouldn't the gift box be handed over? At this moment, I suddenly received a text message from the Anti-Corruption Corps on my mobile phone, saying that he wanted to meet with me about a recent report. With a "dang" sound above my head, I knew in my heart that this time it was probably planted.
I reluctantly pretended to be in a hurry to leave the table, and hurriedly stuffed the gift box into Director Lin's car—yes, the 2,000 was given to Director Lin like this. Then, I went straight to my subordinate's office and destroyed all the accounts and bills for today's dinner.
At this moment, anti-corruption comrades arrived. The reason is very simple, that is, someone reported me for inviting me to dinner and accepting red envelopes. I denied it in my heart, and showed my innocence by taking out the accounts that had been emptied. The comrade didn't say anything more, told me not to behave in this way lately, and left in a hurry.
I breathed a sigh of relief, but I was worried again - my actions just now had exceeded the bottom line of the workplace, and once it was exposed by Director Lin, I am afraid that I will not be able to sit still as a section chief.
I was annoyed when I received another message on my mobile phone, and I clicked on it to see that it was sent by Director Lin:
When I came back from a meeting just now, I saw a small gift box on the car. I weighed it very heavily, and when I opened it, it turned out to be the 2,000 yuan. Xiao Gao, I know everyone's intentions, but after all, my identity is sensitive, and it is inconvenient to accept this gift. I'll pack it up and send it back to your unit. ”
My brain went blank with a bang, and my face was like ashes. Director Lin, what does this mean? I was reported for a treat, and the anti-corruption came. Now I'm eighty percent planted.
Unexpectedly, Director Lin's next performance was very atmospheric—not only did he not trouble me, but at the meeting of the company's new leadership team, he praised my enthusiasm and enthusiasm for my work by name and recommended me to be promoted to the deputy director of the department.
In this Spring Festival dinner, I showed my feet and almost took my life. However, Director Lin's generosity and kindness have brought me a major leap forward in my life. It turned out that although this Spring Festival banquet was full of unexpected turmoil, it also changed the fate of a subordinate. Once again, I deeply understand that good intentions come and so do good results. I must remember this grace in all respects.
What does Xiao Gao's experience teach us? The Spring Festival is approaching, what kind of holiday gift should be the most appropriate?
If you want to give a gift to avoid trouble, it's actually very simple - give practical, give serious, as long as it's not money. What kind of gift is appropriate to give during the holidays, so that the leader and himself will not be embarrassed? A piece of advice for everyone:
First of all, don't give expensive ones. It is easy to be deducted from the hat of ** when giving expensive gifts, in case it catches fire, the gains outweigh the losses.
Secondly, try to send practical daily necessities. During the holidays, people often want to receive some small things that are interesting in life.
Again, don't give it to the leader, but to the leader's wife and children. What we need to do is to pass on holiday wishes, not just to please the leader.
Specific gifts that can be given, such as tea, wine, snack food, or some small and delicate daily necessities, are all very good. In particular, some very authentic niche specialties are the easiest to win the love of others.
Such a gift not only reflects your intentions, but also easily completes the scene and avoids embarrassment to the greatest extent. If you must send it to the leader, my suggestion is to send some exquisite and practical office supplies, such as brand-name notebooks, utility knives, stationery supplies, etc.
In the small matter of giving gifts during the holidays, you and I need to think outside the box. This contains more than just interpersonal communication between you and me. On the contrary, through these "small gifts", we convey positive energy and express goodwill.
The most precious quality of a person is kindness. A person who can express kindness and love often has a healthy and happy life. So, when the festival comes, let's work together to spread positive energy and harvest warmth.
