    Coworker gave me excuses for a bad Secret Santa gift for me but bought out our bosses' lists (stupid vent). I just needed to get this off my chest.

    We did Secret Santa on Monday with a minimum of $30 and I got Christmas candy (when on our list we could specify what we DIDNT want and I said anything edible) and a work shirt (which obviously I don't

    $8 lotion I had asked on my list and apologized, wasting my time telling me about how shes a little low on money and everything she did on the weekend and why she was too busy to get me what I had asked for.

    I honestly didn't care that much, had low expectations for work Secret Santa as a whole so I just told her that I understood and it was nice of her to get me the lotion. This is a coworker I have to help a lot so I want us to be on good terms.

    It's just crazy to me that she couldn't do this for her Secret Santa and I'm someone who helps her a lot, but did this for our bosses who always overwork her.

    photogfrog People are such weird creatures. She probably thinks you can't progress her in the role so she sucks up to management. I guarantee they don't care. Stop helping her.

    VerdMont1 Help her no more. She pleads poverty to you and spends on others. She's a user.
