Quoting: ~kpm~ A study found that Secret Santa gift exchanges trigger anxiety in many millennials. Dr. Ashley Weinberg, a psychology lecturer at the University of Salford in Manchester, claimed the holiday gift swap triggers anxiety in those who overspend because they don’t want to appear "stingy." The study from Jobsite found that 26% of millennials admitted to dipping into savings or overdrafting their accounts to fund an office gift. Around 17% reported that they “felt judged” by their co-workers based on the gift they chose to contribute. In total, 78% of millennials felt they contributed “more than they should” to an office party gift compared to 58% of the rest of the workforce. [link to www.washingtonexaminer.com (secure)] |

But I still go along with it to not spoil other people's fun. Whining about the money is just petty. My gift is usually an autographed picture of myself, signed "You're welcome." |

I tell my employee's buy a gift if you like but don't spend over $20 bucks. Problem solved. This happened in my shop twenty years ago and some dude bought me an entire war wash set. Brush, a sprayer, bottles of wash, the works. I guess he thought I liked my car. I thanked him and never used the fucking thing. |

If you like your co-workers it might be a fun thing, but there should be a dollar cap on it. I think $20 is more than enough. If you don't like your co-workers, it's a bit of a pain, but just do it and try to have some fun. Or opt out. Not a big deal but everything seems to upset these millennials. I think it's really about the War on Christmas. |
