I give the valets in my building about $50-100 depending on if I like them or not

Nope. No one in my building does. Maybe some guests do

Iā€™ve been thinking about this. One lady treats me super well and I was thinking of getting her something nice. The others treat other residents well but not me so much so I wouldnā€™t feel giving all a general gift.

Guys, $50-$100 per person sounds way too much? That would be like $500+ based on how many people rotate through

If you canā€™t afford to compensate those who serve you once a year then move to a cheaper place. You can do what you want but I find it extremely disrespectful as it is custom in the city. Plus those people watch your packages, make sure no one is going into your apartment... etc.

Iā€™ll give you better advice. Also- New Yorker here, if thatā€™s helpful info.
I gave $35-$50 for my front desk / concierge staff depending on how much I interact with them. $10-$20 for the maintenance staff, also dependent on the above. Less than $30 for your front desk would be cheap.

FYI: we have a team of about 5 to 6 very nice people on 24 hours of rotations. Price per apartment unit ranges from 800k for one bedroom to 2M for a very large two beds or three beds

Tell me your craziest experience working with a TV network. Here comes mine:

I'm American, but my family is mostly Colombian. I was told my aunt and cousins would come here for 2 weeks. I discovered they were going to be paid to appear in a famous Hispanic TV show, where a "judge" receives a case, hears the plaintiffs and defendants and renders a verdict. But of course, it's all fake and payed šŸ˜‚ turns out she wanted me to go there (even though I don't work for that TV network) so she's sure she'll be paid at the end of the show. Wth did I just do.

Today I had a very transparent conversation with my TA Director. I was not eligible for the merit increase due to my start date.

She mentioned that she was going to look into it with her boss to see where they can meet me at. Or do you think I overstepped the line By being so transparent about my wants for compensation and within the organization?
