Until recently, women in the workplace were expected to buy chocolates for their male workmates as part of a tradition called giri choco – literally, obligation chocolates.
For a growing number of women, the pressure to avoid causing offence by spending thousands of yen on chocolates for coworkers is becoming intolerable. Some companies are now banning the practice, which is seen by many workers as a form of abuse of power and harassment.

I could go for some chocolate.
We have secretary day where we buy the office ladies stuff. And I think there's a boss day but that's ignored.
Do you have special days were you're supposed to buy coworkers stuff?
