Our bosses always seem like they’re doing a hundred things all at once. In between meetings and guiding you and your workmates, it’s astounding how they squeeze in time to relax. With Christmas exactly seven days away, you better grab the the opportunity to thank them for their hard work.
We suggest you give them something that’ll ideally make their lives easier in the office. At the same time, allow them to unwind after a long day. Don’t expect an immediate raise, though. Wink.
