Ask Savvy: Is There a Polite Way to Say "No Gifts"?  Dear Savvy, I am in a management position at my company but not top management. So I was somewhat surprised last year during the holidays, when several of my employees bought me Christmas presents. It was a really lovely gesture and I got some great gifts, but in general, I’m more of a “no gifts please” type of person (I have in the past made that rule about birthday parties.) With the economic downturn this year, I’d just rather they not stress about it and not get me anything.

BellaSugar's Gift Guide: Beauty Treats For Your Boss Buying something for your boss can be a bit stressful, so hopefully some of my beauty-finds below will help inspire the perfect, suitable gift for the lady in charge. Remember not to buy anything overly expensive that you can't afford since she knows how much you make, yet this isn't the place you want to skimp either since it's still important to find something classy and impressive. I suggest a beautiful atomizer, compact or indulgent hand cream.

Last night's episode of The Office was titled "The Surplus," and the episode appropriately opened with Oscar explaining to Michael why they had to spend the $4,300 budget surplus by the day's end. When Michael doesn't understand what Oscar is talking about, he asks Oscar to explain it to him like he's an 8-year-old. Then, when the light-bulb still doesn't go on, he asks Oscar to explain it to him like he's a 5-year-old.

What to Do If You Receive an Unexpected Gift Some holiday situations are as sticky as peppermint candy canes, including the uncomfortable instance of receiving an unexpected gift. Usually it's easy to assume who will take part in a gift exchange, but we all know that assumptions don't always pan out the way you predicted. That friend you haven't heard from in a month, but gave you a gift last year, might come bearing a present around the holidays.

Your Two Cents: Are You Giving Your Boss a Holiday Gift?

Your Two Cents: Are You Giving Your Boss a Holiday Gift? Wouldn't it be great if everything holiday-related was as straightforward as sprinkled sugar cookies? Office gift giving is a gray area for many employees, especially if you're new to the company and aren't sure of holiday protocol. The presence of multiple supervisors and several colleagues make it difficult to separate those who should receive a gift (if any) from those who don't need to be included.

The Most Ridiculous Excuses For Missing Work There are two main points that I took away from reading the results of a recent Careerbuilder survey: Some bosses actually drive by employees' homes when they've called in sick, and some people will say anything to get out of going to work. Both parties are guilty, but the boss might be doing more damage than the employee in this case. Thirty-one percent of the employers surveyed said they follow up with employees who call in sick, some require doctor's notes, others check in by calling, and a creepy percentage drives by the employee's home.

It's Boss's Day! Are You Sending an E-Card? To all of you boss ladies out there, Happy Boss's Day! October 16 marks the holiday for showing our bosses how much they are valued, and with 56 percent of you respecting your superior it seems there is a lot of thanks to go around. Boss's Day might be slightly uncomfortable for someone that isn't used to singing her boss's praises directly, but as long as it comes off as a genuine thank-you your boss will welcome your effort in reaching out.

Would You Want Your Boss's Job?

Would You Want Your Boss's Job? One of the common questions used to weigh whether or not a career track is right for you, is to ask if you could see yourself doing your boss's job. The corner office may seem appealing when compared to your cubicle, but observing the real responsibilities and day-to-day decisions made in that office might make you think twice about making yourself comfortable in your boss's chair.
