And I know that it isn't just me. I have spoken with other GCs and find that law firms are just plain stingy at the holidays -- unless, perhaps, you are a multi-million dollar client rather than coming in just under a million in billables.
What is up with that? How embarrassing it is when everyone pools their gifts to share here at the home office and I have nothing...nothing. Every year it is the same.
Cheap-ass fucking lawyers.
Starting next year I am demanding gifts or the work dries up.

I work with clients who give me tons of work, and I give nothing for Xmas. I assume there is some policy at most companies forbidding gifts. There are people who I should probably buy a car for, and they get nothing but the occasional b-ball ticket.
Its not the lawyers built in stinginess, its our fear of doing something wrong.
If you have no such policies, maybe you should think of a way to convey the gifts others get.
