Do you feel like your manager listens to you but doesn’t actually care about what you have to say/how you feel? How are people handling this?

What makes you say that they don't care about how you feel or what you have to say? In terms of what - your pay, your job duties, the company?

Idk if anything will change. Unless you are billable, work in advertising, every decision goes back to network. Even if your manager want to help, any change or requests probably goes up to the senior mgmt team to make a decision. Most of the time, it gets denied.

Pretty much every job I’ve ever had, yeah.

This executive I support has given me an e-gift card for the 3rd time in the past 5 months. Each gift card is $300.

I had already told him monetary awards were not necessary as the "thank-you" and words of appreciation were enough for me.

Is it normal to receive such large monetary awards? I think 50~100 is acceptable
