Five Good Gifts For The Boss You Hate
78
We all have our bosses. Some are privileged to have an angel fallen in corporate suit, sweet smile and positive attitude towards work while others are evil in human form walking in her Prada shoes. Leave it or live it—that is what we should do if we have a boss who is the epitome of all the negative things combined. As an employee, I feel for you. I once had a boss whom I wanted to punch in the face all day but I can’t for so many rational reasons. First, I need my job and second, I’m a lover, not an unprofessional war-freak fighter.
These people might come from hell and back but you should never fight fire with fire. Instead, simply grasp how to play the dirty and the tricky game of the corporate world. Learn how to socialize, make friends with people who don’t really like, spark a conversation with the most annoying people on Earth and most especially get chummy with your horned superior. Being a good friend with your superior might be a puke-inducing act but it will surely work on diverting your anger away from your boss’ creepy face
You should know that being nice to them despite the fact that they keep despising you works. It can make you focus on what you're paid to do and It lessens the stress level. It will definitely liberate you from possible wrinkle-formation and early aging due to everyday frowning and cursing. Want to know how to be nice to the boss you hate? Give them these five highly recommended corporate gifts that they will surely die for!
Watches
Time is a very important aspect of life. It is essential for everyone especially to your boss since he/she is the one who handles so many things at the same time. Thus, give her/him a watch. Branded or not—that is your prerogative. However, I highly recommend to give them watches that are customized with their name engraved on it. This way, he/she would know if you are on overtime or not! Kidding aside, your bosses will realize that no matter how evil they are, you can still be good to mankind.
Limited Edition Planner
With their hectic schedules, you should know how to subliminally inject sarcasm in his/her face. During the holidays specifically Christmas and New Year, there are some coffee-shops and other business establishments that run promos for limited edition planners. You can ride on these promotions and get a planner for your boss. Make sure that you have it customized for them with imprints on subliminal insult that only you can decode. At least, that way, you know that you're even, right?
Beer Mugs
Give them a pair of special imprinted beer mugs. These unique holiday gifts symbolizes that you are always ready for some rocking drinking party with your boss despite your differences. Try to invite your superiors for a night out and let him/her get drunk. Then, dare to do all the crazy things you have in mind. However, videoing your boss in their most awkward drunk moment is all up to you.
Pens
If you can think of things to give the boss you hate, just give them a pen. It is one of the most basic office needs that is a no-brainer and definitely safe on your budget. If you want to make it really special, order a fountain pen engraved with his/her name. Or if you want, give them a shock pen. This will be an ideal practical joke that you can apply. Take a video of that glorious moment to have something to laugh about. However, just keep it yourself or your employment might experience a shock of a lifetime.
Books
Your boss might be interested in reading a lot of stuff from newspapers to graphic novels to dingy magazines. If you want to give something to these people you always curse in the morning, you can always go for books.Truly, these products are considered hubs of wisdom and this is the quality that make these items ideal for gifting.
Your bosses—no matter how bad they are—are still human beings. They also have their soft sides. You can always give them gifts for whatever reason you have. You can be sarcastic, you can be sincere.

Hi, rob_allen. It sounds like you have had a few too many of those bosses :) I wonder if all CEOS golf. Do they enjoy it, or do they think that it looks good for them if they do play golf?
Great advice here. Very well written and amusing.
I like the idea of the beer mugs. That would be pretty funny.

I always remember the woman in a company that I used to work in who walked into her managers office with two cups of coffee -
when he asked her why two cups - she responded "one for each face"...
