Something Nice for a Friend and Coworker

A longtime coworker and friend is going through some very tough stuff right now. He confided in me today which isn’t like him because he typically keeps things to himself. I’d really like to get or do something nice for him. Any suggestions?

Go somewhere quiet at lunch and meditate with him. Plenty of meditation music on YT. Just do 20 minutes.

A jar of jam will surely brighten his day.

Discuss this with your friends and add him to your prayer circle.

Maybe invite him to a holiday concert

Not sure what your price range is but a gift certificate for a massage to help him relieve stress would be nice. A legit massage, of course.

Maybe just being a listening ear is enough. Sometimes, after spilling one's guts, people regret being vulnerable and would rather you act like you never heard anything. Giving a gift will remind coworker that s/he spilled his guts to you.

OP, there were some good suggestions on that thread you started a few months ago, asking what to get your boss when her dog died.

Bosses with dead dogs have different needs, compared to longtime coworkers going through "tough stuff." It's apples and oranges. Roses and sunflowers.

Invite him out for a drink. On you.

Get him a dead dog-- different people, different needs.

Start a rumour about him among your colleagues suggesting he's got a drinking problem. He'll just get needier otherwise.

Roses and blanches.

Many consider a gift subscription to DL to be ever tasteful and appropriate.

Is ur friend-coworker suckable?

You can never go wrong with a Precious Moments figurine.

You've painted such a vivid picture of your co-worker and the relationship you share, that I'm sure you'll get dozens of good gift ideas.

A top shelf bottle of premium scotch, OP.

A Playboy magazine, so he can read the articles?

Take him out, have some great food, let him get drunk if he wants, listen to whatever he wants to talk about and then get him home. The next day send him a text that just says, - "here for you, my friend". And that is all you need to do.

Take him out, have some great food, let him get drunk if he wants, listen to whatever he wants to talk about and then get him home. The next day, he wakes up bleeding from the anus. And that is all you need to do.

Lodge a HR complaint against him for bullying or sexual harassment. That’ll help take his mind off the other things and give him a new outlook on work life.

Try making him a nice savory JELL-O Salad! This one with cucumber, celery, pimento, olives and topped with chunk style tuna might do the trick to cheer him up!

To R26-That is the grossest vomit-inducing JELL-O salad I have ever seen, naturally I sent to my 6 favorite La Jolla Dowagers Queens (real women) that lie here 4ever.

All six women emailed me that was a "real recipe"& they actually made that "back in the day".

Standing next to him, ask him to dial your phone. Let him hear the special ring tone you have set up and see that you changed his display name to "______Always Answer". Then do that.
