Are you freakin’ kidding me?? The LAST thing you want to do to suck up to your boss is buy him scotch - he can buy his own. BE the most valuable employee walking the face of the earth!!! THAT will impress him.

I am not in marketing. I have to do what I can.

I wouldn’t buy him the most expensive brand, that might make him think he’s paying you too much.

It's not a question of being in marketing. It's going out in your company and being the guy that your boss sees everywhere he looks. Somebody needs supplies delivered to their desk, YOU deliver them. Someone else needs help figuring out how to do something on the computer, YOU'RE the guy giving the help. Someone else needs help cleaning up a mess on the floor, YOU're the one helping.

It's not rocket science . . . . . it's BEATING him at his own game. You buy him a bottle of scotch and it sends a message that you don't want to send. The kind you want to send is greeting him when he first walks into the office in the morning with a cup of coffee, a stack of reports and a bagel or muffin or something
