at our corporate office in thanks for their assistance & support & was truly genuine about it. I sent it to the main person that I had been in contact with the most, who happens to be 2nd to the CEO, but with all others names on the gift. I only received a thank you from the person who I sent it to directly & she told me she told the others of the gift. I got the impression after that they thought I was brown nosing or something & still haven't ever heard a word from them. Was it out of line for me to do this or their problem for not saying thank you?

I wouldn't worry about it. You got a thank you from the person you sent the gift to, so that seems fine to me. I wouldn't expect a thank you from every single person in the office. It would have been nice, but not necessary. You weren't out of line.

One gift, one thank you note from the person who was directly gifted. I don't think they think you were "brown nosing," only that they thought that one thank you note was sufficient for one gift. If I had been the primary recipient of the gift, and was sending a thank you note, then I would probably have passed around the thank you card for others to sign as well. But it really seems a moot point, now.

You say that you gave the gift as a gesture of being truly genuine about the help you received. So, if that is true, then why be concerned about who thanks you or not? In your heart, you made someone or several people feel good because you recognized THEIR work. Why not feel good about what YOU did, and leave it at that? If that bothers you, then you truly did not give the gift "genuinely" - you really did it to receive the recognition.

I don't think you were out of line but I also think that only the person who directly received the candy from you was required to write a thank you note.
Just forget about it and treat all your coworkers with kindness and respect and you should get along just fine.

Im guessing the one person kept your gift for herself.

I have yet to see anyone giving the janitor a gift.

It's their problem; don't say anything about it to them. Keep doing what your doing.
