I'm SO happy to be back here :-) I get to carpool with my husband every day and I get to see BOTH kids more. Plus, I know everything about this company and how they work so I was able to jump right back in. </p> <p>I ended up getting him a nice bottle of scotch and a little thank you card :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-to-c-level-exec-that-got-you-your-dream-job#post-2219884 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 13:52:53 +0000 winniebee 2219884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice bottle of wine or scotch and a card.</p> <p>Congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-to-c-level-exec-that-got-you-your-dream-job#post-2219882 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 13:49:19 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2219882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd do booze and a card.<br /> Congrats on the great job!

I bet the note will be the most meaningful part of the gift anyway :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-to-c-level-exec-that-got-you-your-dream-job#post-2219614 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 10:33:40 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2219614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is an exec and pretty much only gets alcohol as gifts. I'd for sure get a nice bottle of wine and a card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-to-c-level-exec-that-got-you-your-dream-job#post-2219551 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 09:50:10 +0000 raspberries 2219551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Nah, it's definitely not too late - I work in HR, and I've gotten notes like that months later and it always brightens my day.</p> <p>ETA: Congrats on your new position - it sounds awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-to-c-level-exec-that-got-you-your-dream-job#post-2219543 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 09:47:00 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2219543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: @Truth Bombs: Good point - I'll probably just get a card. Do you think it's too late to send it now that it's been 3 weeks on the job? (I started on the 8th, but didn't actually get all set up in the system and get my equipment until the 15th). I actually saw him this morning and personally told him "thank you" as we were walking into the building. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-to-c-level-exec-that-got-you-your-dream-job#post-2219525 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 09:35:30 +0000 Truth Bombs 2219525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a nice bottle of wine would be perfect. Since he is your COO I would avoid going too extravagant so it doesn't look like you are kissing ass. Just a nice token gift and a note telling him how much you appreciate his assistance in getting back into such a great company/role. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-to-c-level-exec-that-got-you-your-dream-job#post-2219522 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 09:35:04 +0000 raspberries 2219522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you know anything that he particularly likes? If not, I'd probably just go with a handwritten card that says how much you appreciate what he's done for you, and how people like him make working at this company your dream job, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-to-c-level-exec-that-got-you-your-dream-job#post-2219511 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 09:29:59 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2219511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Background: I used to work at the same company as my husband, and I loved it, but I was presented with an opportunity 2 years ago that I thought would help to further my career. I ended up hating it and wished I had never left. I really missed all the people I used to work with, and I missed being with my husband. </p> <p>Fast forward to a couple months ago... I attended my husband's company crawfish boil and the COO came over and chatted with me for a little bit and then asked when I was coming back. I told him I would love to come back but there haven't been any opportunities. He told me that he would find me something, since he still thought of me as an asset to the company. *squeeee*</p> <p>He kept his word and I'm SO happy to be back at this company. I love the people, the flexibility and the work. I want to give him something to show how much I appreciate him getting me back, but I have no idea what to give him... flowers? Wine? .... I'm at a loss, but I want to get him something </p>
