With no raise nor bonus this predicted for next year, I cannot afford office gifts. Regardless of finances, 2 of the 3 attorneys I work for are just horrors - female attorneys can be very obnoxious! I do not believe they are deserving.

The 3rd is a charming southern gentleman who lost his daughter a few weeks ago. I plan to make a small contribution to a scholarship in her (Kate's) honor - perhaps I should do it in their names and alleviate any ill feelings. Also, I just don't want to get gifts for any other coworkers b/c, well I hate to be hateful, they just don't deserve it!

The female attorneys are verbally abrasive, dishonest, set up their staff for collision, demanding, curse, call me at home and yell (I don't answer their calls anymore) and berate us in front of other staff. Basically, we're treated like yard dawgs.

The younger attorney is pregnant and when she has her baby shower I will not plan it nor participate. I just believe in equality, not class branding.

Am I wrong?
