Getting freebies from suppliers

    Last month I placed a big order with an office supply company on behalf of the office. Basically someone else in the office supplied me with a list of required stationery, I added a few things to it, asked a few colleagues if they needed anything else and then placed and took delivery of the order. Now it turns out the company were running a promotion and sent me over €100 in tesco vouchers (in denominations of €10 and €20) and I'm wondering should I keep them for myself or share them with 2 other women who work with me?

    My conscience is telling me I should share but my greedy side is telling me to say nothing. I don't know what the others would do if they had been given them.

    give them a tenner each. would they share if the shoe was on the other foot?

    where i work they girls that do the ordering tend to keep everything that comes in unless is sweets or chocolates then tehy're open for anyone to dip into.

    Share, but remember that you don't have to share equally - if there's no way that they'll find how out exactly how much you got.

    Bearing in mind that a lot of employers have certain policies on recieving gifts from suppliers, it'd be safer (& nicer) to share them.

    If the employer has a no-gift policy in the first place it may be better to keep mum - the two others are two other mouths that might accidentally open.

    Find out what the policy is. Not worth getting grief over €100
