I haven't had a Happy Christmas email, nor do I expect one. Years ago our manager would get us all a small gift each and the company would also give us a present as well. These days we get neither.Line Manager - their last day going on leave. I will wait in vain for the email wishing me Happy Christmas. I don’t expect a card, or a present, but just a few words wishing me a good Christmas. Just little human touches. Quite disgraceful really. Staff survey coming up in January. Sharpens pen…
I actually don't expect a present, but it's weird they used to do it and then stopped. Like you say, an email wouldn't go amiss but I think because we've had a saccharine sweet (and completely meaningless) email from the CEO who doesn't know us from Adam, our direct managers think they don't need to bother.
