The holiday season is a lot to juggle, both at work and at home. There’s lots to make, buy, wrap, mail and give, not to mention bake or cook. Some of the stress stems from worrying you’ll forget someone when it comes to gifts. Let us ease your mind on one account: You should not be getting your boss a gift, even though some 35% of us do it. Experts say this is actually a “weird” thing to do! Here’s why.

 

Please don't buy your boss a gift

Deal With It

 

“Why are you looking for a job change?” is a reasonable question for a hiring manager to ask you during a job interview. But how honest should you be? Saying that you are escaping a bad boss, or want more money, or simply want a new job is not going to sell your career story to a hiring manager, and your answer may even send up red flags. We asked HR pros and career coaches for the best way to handle this tricky Q.

Pro Tip:

 

Always shred your boarding pass — or go digital, if possible. Although airlines usually don’t print more of your personal information on boarding passes other than your name and flight information, guess what? Reporter Casey Bond discovered that with a simple free scanner app, anyone who finds your pass can use its codes to reveal details like your phone number and airline account info, which they can then use to get security answers like your mother’s maiden name to reset your password or even steal your airline miles. Here’s what Casey learned you should do to protect yourself.
