Gifts to Directors after Submitting Resignation
Would like to get the WSO opinion on striking a balance between giving meaningful gifts and going overboard after leaving a job on good terms.
I'm an associate in a small satellite office of an REPE and am leaving for another shop. I started my career here and have close relationships with everyone in the office, I've done high quality work and am (under the impression that I'm) well liked and respected. It would be easy to get everyone a nice bottle of whiskey or a tie and call it a day but, given I know enough about these people to do something personal (ex. one guy is really into his cologne, one guy is die hard Mets), my inclination is to be thoughtful about it. The counter argument is that something too nice / personal might create an uncomfortable feeling of obligation. Is there downside to being a bit extra on departure gifts?
Don't go overboard. A handwritten, personalized thank you note and booze is appropriate and well beyond expectations... cologne, ties, or other personal preference-type things are too much.
$50-60 champagne / whiskey and a note
How long were you there? I feel like if it was for years, maybe something to the people you work closest with? Have honestly never heard of this, but sounds like a nice gesture and I'm am more junior.
