I'm never being nice to my boss again!

So we go to the Christmas party he's holding at his house, and we bring a small batch of homemade bourbon balls, about 8-10, as a hospitality gift.

A week later we go visit one of our clients, and while I didn't actually see them, he was openly telling people at the office, "careful, there's bourbon in the chocolate", and "the fudge was handcrafted by monks in Kentucky and they spike it with bourbon", and "if you get pulled over you can truthfully say you haven't been drinking".

And oh man did they love it. And they loved him for it.

It's not like the bourbon balls were free, for crying out loud. I'd have kept them and ate them myself if I knew he was gonna re-gift them and take credit for it.

I don't see what the big deal is honestly. I guess I'm not as sensitive, but in any case I'd kill'em with kindness. Keep being nice to him and eventually he'll be guilted into respecting your feelings...

Maybe I'm just pissed that he got all kinds of credit for something he didn't even work for.

Isn't that in the "boss" job description??

I draw the line at confections, gadammit!

No worries man. Take comfort in the fact that you're the bigger person...

Next year fill half of them with spent hops.

.. bet your boss will never re-gift anything ever again.
