My first wife was a purchasing manager for a large nursing home. She would get all kinds of gifts, including box tickets to the Steelers home football games. She had to turn all of it in. Then the upper managers would use them.
2nd wife was an office manager for a gas drilling company. She would get a lot of stuff too. Lunches, dinners. Which I went with her for some of them. Gifts, which she was allowed to keep. And invited to different events. One event was a sporting clays shoot. I bought her a 20ga youth model semi-auto Benelli shot gun to use for the event. She came home with 6 cases of shot gun shells for 12ga and 20ga.
We also went to baseball games and football games. Vendors in the gas drilling business was throwing money around like there was no tomorrow for a while.
