>A survey carried out by YouGov for Metroxpress shows most Danes were satisfied with the Christmas gifts they received from their employer last year.
>However, more than a third were at best indifferent if not downright unhappy about the employer’s choice of saying ‘thank you’.
>According to a lifestyle expert Henrik Byager, who advises companies on employee gifts, the purpose of Christmas gifts is to show that companies appreciate their employees.
>Too small, too wrong
>“Two things can go wrong: either the gift is too small and will therefore be perceived as an insult, or it completely misses the mark,” Byager told Metroxpress.
>“Then there is of course the type of employee generally dissatisfied with his wages and working conditions, who won’t cheer up even for a Christmas present.”
>The most important thing, however, is that everybody gets the same, noted Byager.

Why would your employer give you a Christmas gift. Are you expected to give them one back?

This is like the one thing all of us needed to know.
Just gift money.

I assume it's like a bonus or whatever. My old job gave you a big monetary bonus around Christmas. My current one just has a party with free alcohol and food and shitty gift baskets for employees to take home.

Any currency you prefer, or is it all the same old boring national shit?

Being given money is also a recipie for dissatisfaction. Too little and people are immensely unhappy ("half a week's wages? So I'm just getting paid for my days off." "A hundred bucks? Well, I guess this will pay my cable bill... Not really helpful...". Too much and you are unhappy. " why did I give those ungrateful bastards $100 each?$

Christmas bonus' aren't rare. Quite a bit of companies still give out cash. But it's not cost-effective, which is what most businesses care about these days. Instead, these "gifts" are ordered in mass bulk at prices well below what they normally cost. Some of these companies just give shit away from one of their partners. They save money, and they can have a safe conscience knowing they gave you something.

The danish should really be proud that this is actually an issue. Instead of something much worse.
My job just gave everyone a free ham which was cool. First job i worked for that gave me something even semi noteworthy.
