Well, hey, you got it back! You're clearly ungrateful... yeah...
Is everyone missing the sarcastic humor??
Was it your red stapler, Milton?
it must be nice having a job where you get paid to waste time on useless activities.
Such events like this usually happen during lunch breaks.
you must be really popular at your place of employment.
Bright side? You got something that you needed..
Then they shouldn't participate. Sounds more like they wanted a gift but didn't want to even try on getting another person one.
How on earth was this an activity that took weeks to organise? The giver was probably fed up with all your time waster emails on the matter!
I guess it depends on whether it was only a gift exchange, or an entire Christmas party: all the secret santas I've been to included food and fun activities. I've organized just one with my classmates (around 30 people), and it actually took more time than you'd think to prepare (shopping, decorating, finding a date that fits for everyone who wants to participate, signing people up for a potluck, following up on what they're bringing, check for allergies, picking names, preparing "extra presents" in case there are no-shows, renting tv and movies, asking people to bring games, organizing group activities, etc). So if there's many employees (like 50+), I could easily see how organizing it could take time.
Wow, that's a funny jerk move lol. Still, whoever it was, should've been mature enough to get you something. Or maybe that person just doesn't like the whole secret Santa thing and decided to prank you

Office Space, anyone? "Have you seen my stapler?" Apparently someone did. :D
