As per topic, did anyone do that? Give the 2 oranges then say stuff like Gong Xi Fa Cai. My friends say i should leh, becoz recently relationship with manager quite unstable. But i tell my friend i dun even greet my director inside lift, let alone do such thing lor.

Yup i did when they are about to pass me the "ang pow" ^^
Anyway greeting your superior or praising them is not suckin up to them..They work their way up to that position and definitely yearn for some respect..
Imagine if you r the manager or director what would u feel when you saw your colleague dun greet you in or outside workplace?

Hope your mindset dun jeopardise your career~

i dun give nor greet cny to them~

my two bosses gave out ang baos jus now already~

but gave to all except my side de~

my dept they dun give --> cos my dept belongs to the 'waiting for retrenchment' group~

--> dept new, dats y, d rest all here for v long already, so will retrench those new ones.

if they give, i will jus greet them n give them d oranges --> jus courtesy --> i dun go up to their rooms jus to greet & give oranges.
