I’ve just started working for a small, lesser known parcel company with a team of around ten of us.
One of my regular customers is an online sweet shop, and yesterday the lady who runs it told me she was shutting up for Christmas and gifted me a large jar of sweets.
Brought it up in conversation amongst a few colleagues and one of my supervisors yesterday afternoon, and their faces all turned and were complaining that we’re apparently supposed to share gifts amongst colleagues. I thought they were joking at first but their faces really did tell a different story.
But to be honest when I’ve done regular driving jobs before, I’ve never been given gifts from regular customers before so I don’t know what the general consensus is. I used to work in management for a large parcel company and know drivers used to just take them home for themselves, but it would have been a struggle to share amongst hundreds of people who worked there.
Just wondering about anyone else?
