I love getting Amazon gift cards. Definitely goes to good use even if it’s mostly contributing to a diaper fund right now

Lol same

it’s definitely boring but it’s also something that the recipient can definitely put to use

Boring but good. Amazon spending without the guilt.

Boring but good. Always happy to receive something like that!

It depends on the recipient. My daughter’s teachers like them and we are not super close so they don’t expect something personal. But I wouldn’t get one for someone I’m close with unless I knew they had stuff they were dreaming about in their cart.

I love it! Amazon gift cards are the best!

My manager keeps pushing me to insert myself earlier in the projects to be more conceptual, & I try, but I’m still being brought in late, without basic context from CDs. He says he can talk to them but it’s better if I do. He says he’s always available for support, but when I reach out, he’s impossible to reach. I can’t grow & get promoted without space and support from my team & I don’t want be too aggressive & have that negatively impact how my teammates see me. I feel stuck, any advice?
