I play an IT support role in my office and I support all 100+ employees. 95% are women. I'm not trying to stereotype here, but let's just say I have to be pretty careful about what I say and do. There have been rumors of "favoritism" among my customers and I certainly don't want to perpetuate it by selectively giving gifts. I'm with you on office gifts...ixna on the iftsga. Just as I don't want to gift at the office, I feel uncomfortable about receiving as well. I feel bad if someone gifts me and I don't reciprocate. I don't have a problem with other employees gifting each other though.
