Is my boss breaking the rules or am I? What does this mean about employee discounts? ?

In my company rules book it says that the employee discount is for your immediate discount. I always buy things for my family and my boss gets mad at me sometimes. It specifically says the discounts are for your immediate family. He always says it is only for your children or spouse but I do not have either of them. Since I do not think that he is following the rules I just buy my family things anyway.

When i worked retail my rule book said the same thing, and my manager told me that if you didnt have a child or spouse then your “immediate” family would be considered mother & father, brothers & sisters. But you say that YOU are always buying them things and using the discount, if you are purchasing them with your money then he/she cant complain because they dont know if your buying if for yourself or for someone else unless you tell them. When i worked in retail if i was at work and my family came in to make a purchase i could give them my discount, but if i was buying they didnt know if it was for me or someone else so they cant say anything…….do you get what im saying?

Writing Children’s Books For Dummies $19.99 Everyone loves a children\’s book. And many dream about writing one. But is it actually possible for an unpublished writer—armed with a good story idea and a love of kids—to write, sell, publish, and promote a book? Yes, it is! Veteran children’s book publishing executive and author Lisa Rojany Buccieri and author Peter Economy show you how, in their incredibly useful 2005 first edition of Writing Children’s Books For Dummies® . Buccieri and Economy begin by explaining the basics of the children’s book business, from the nuts and bolts of the various formats and genres—with helpful illustrations to aid you—to the intricacies of the book publishing market, a list of recent award-winning books, and a first peek into the particular mind set that writing children’s books requires. (Hint: Throw out the adult rules, and think like a kid!) Then the authors dive into the actual writing process itself, with tips on setting up a workspace, brainstorming great book ideas, researching the subject you decide on, even speaking with the sorts of kids you hope will eventually read the book. They show you how to create compelling characters and develop them in the manuscript; how to outline and write a plot “arc” of conflict, change, and resolution; how to master the difficult art of writing dialogue; and how to use active (rather than passive) language to keep your story moving along and interesting to young minds. Or, if you’re planning to write a creative nonfiction children’s book—on a topic such as science, nature, or a historical figure, for example—the authors include a chapter on this, too. Ready, set, go… it’s time to sit down and write! Once you’ve finished your book, however, the process has only begun. Now you will refine, submit, and hopefully sell your manuscript. Here again, the authors of Writing Children’s Books For Dummies come through for you. They deliver solid advice on hiring an illustrator—or not; participating in workshops and conferences to learn the business and hone a story; finding an agent; and, finally, submitting the manuscript to publishers and—if you are successful—signing a contract. Along the way, the authors also include tips on handling rejection; a quick primer on the various editors in publishing houses (and how they work to make your book its best); and making a plan to publicize the book, including hiring a publicist if necessary. Like all For Dummies ® books, Writing Children’s Books For Dummies highlights “The Part of Tens,” which includes the Ten Best Ways to Promote Your Story and More Than Ten Great Sources for Storylines. And the ever-helpful Cheat Sheet includes Tips for Editing your Children’s Book Manuscript, Children’s Book No-No’s, Twelve Commandments for Writing Younger Children’s Books, and Tips on Promotion.
