I just started at a new firm a week ago, how much should I give my legal assistant as a holiday gift? Would you just do a visa gift card? I’m a 4th year if that matters.

I think you can pass on a gift this year. Or maybe like a $50 gift card.

Don’t do a Visa gift card. Cash or check is better. The Visa gift cards lose value if they’re not used after a certain period of time. I’ve received them and find them to be annoying.

Let’s not have pride this year that is all about rainbow colors. Remember those who have lost their lives during the AIDS crisis, and the years they were ignored by the government and couldn’t get healthcare to save their lives. Same as what is happening today - those who are not privileged don’t have equal resources, or even access to healthcare. That’s why equality should matter for everyone. It’s not just a party, it’s to show that we’re still here and we will not give up.

I hate Kirkland for what they did to me. Got laid off due to intra-firm-politics at a point in my career where I don’t have enough experience to lateral, when the market is so bad for corp/M&A that even with experience getting hired isn’t likely with a Kirkland stain on the resume, during the holidays when getting interviews or even screeners is just as unlikely, and all of this without any warning at all. Recruiters can’t or aren’t helping. I don’t know what to do, but this is a nightmare
