Hi friends!
I’ve just moved into a doorman building in March for the first time. Can someone give me some guidance on etiquette for Christmas bonus for them and others in the building?

You do need to tip / but you should fully expect an Xmas roster to be distributed by the building that has maybe double or triple the count of doormen/posters/super etc. you’ve ever known. I prefer to tip only the ones I see every day and know pretty well vs shitty tips for everybody on the list.

The roster comes out the day after Thanksgiving.

Current situation , i need to refund signing bonus which was paid along with 3 days of work at the company, taxes are withheld obviously
When you refund a signing bonus do you
1- refund ALL of it even taxes Withheld ?
2- refund only the amount that was deposited in your account
3- mix between 1 and 2 refund more than was deposited but less than the whole amount ( taxes should be refunded to me next year)

My contract says 2 and they want to do 3 Help

There are acts of destruction daily in my classroom. Most of my classes are 25 kids in a small room. When my attention is taken for a second, someone does something like this. Gluing things to counters. Hiding paintbrushes instead of cleaning them. 15 years, I've tried everything to cultivate a respectful classroom culture, and they just don't care. I'm so tired. So, so tired. I don't know how much longer I can do this.
