Depends on how much you’re comfortable with. I would say roughly $1500 or a new laptop but everyone has different budgets.

PM1 - Little sibling seat is taken, sorry 😉

OP - Maybe one months rent and a small gift to go with? A personal touch always feels nice receiving the gift.

I think my older sister gave me a hug. Ymmv

Since you’re an attorney, probably 1,000 or so

My company cut staff to 4 days/wk to save funds. I was getting requests from coworkers for docs needed urgently on our day off (fridays). I would oblige them. But then, I learned that those same coworkers had been put back to 5 days because they were deemed “essential“. I felt foolish and decided to stop working on fridays. One EVP (not the GC) in particular has been aggressively texting/calling me on fridays. How Do I tactfully respond? My out-of-office email is not enough of a hint...
