      State Labor boards should be largely unaffected, and are usually the ones to actually punish the offenders anyway.

            1. Have vendor take you out to lunch.

            2. Walk into bosses office and regurgitate the lunch onto their desk.

            3. Profit?

            Make sure the vendor buys you a nice boozy drink. Some top shelf whiskey or something. Bosses love top shelf whiskey.

            And make sure you get something that looks absolutely repulsive after you vomit it back up. I'd recommend a Greek Salad, extra feta.

                  That’s true, but this directs them to the owner anyway, which is the same thing. It just goes to someone else. If this was actually anti-bribery policy, gifts should not be accepted full stop.

                    This is probably one of the few places my job doesn't do it horribly.

                    Any gifts that aren't perishable get saved up and then before Christmas we do a grab bag type thing where we all take a number and pick a "present" from the swag we've been sent.

                    The only way they do it "wrong" is that the perishables (usually cookies) always go to the office and we never get them on the factory floor! I want cookies DAMNIT!! Lol

                      When I'd get stuff, I'd always offer it to the employees first. My employees used to encourage vendors to show up to get free stuff. I'd let them get whatever they could. One employee got free night vision goggles.

                        The whole schmoozing (bribing) culture is messed up regardless of who is on the receiving end.

                          I would simply refuse all gifts rather than give them to the owner.

                            Why does HE get to make a unilateral decision on a subject of legal ownership. When did he get elected to the Legislature?

                                    Take long enough and you can just shit on the boss's desk, slap down the paper, and ask for a "thank you" for bringing back some lunch.

                                      One place i worked at collected all gifts and had a lottery at Christmas, where employees could win them. I feel that's a fair way to deal with this.

                                        Been with several companies that have the first part in their policy. It makes sense to avoid, or at best minimize an external influencing factor in company activities. Basically they don't want to mess with lawsuits. That's what company policy is for, protect the company.

                                        The rest is owner greed. He doesn't want the gifts to stop, he wants them all without doing anything to get them. Either enforce a 'no gifts, period' policy or let people do what they will.
