I need your advice. Is it advisable to give my boss shalach monos if I'm working at my place for 4 months? I know if I start it'll be expected to give every year. I have plenty of people on my list as is....is it necessary? Of course it would be nice and proper and and and....And, if I give my boss, I have to give my manager, co worker...The list goes on...

I think it's more accepted for a man to give his boss MM although he's working there for a short amount of time rather than a lady. But that's an opinion. And, you don't have to prepare anything. Workers don't expect anything in return.

sm=shalach manos
I should have said MM, to be grammatically correct, right ?

yes, if you're a hebrew speaker, no if you're a yiddish speaker, and if you're an english speaker I guess you can choose either one!
I'm with cm, don't start! Your boss doesn't expect it, and all we need is for the boss's wife to post on the Shlom Bayis section "DH has a new employee, a frum married girl who's been there 4 months. On purim she gave dh SM. I'm feeling betrayed and suspicious. why would she give her boss sm if there's nothing going on? she gave him chocolates, which everyone knows is the food of courtship, and her hamantashen looked not so much triangular as heart-shaped. I'm just sick over this. I asked dh what was going on and he said nothing, he's as surprised as I, but I don't know what to think. WWYD?"

I would say to give.
But I wouldn't listen to myself.  Since dh thinks I am mad  giving all the ppl on our list. He thinks we don't have to give his cousins where I think we do. Who is right?
