My manager sent me a gift at home for holidays. Should I return the favor?

Sure. I think that's reasonable. You could always send a card or have coffee delivered or something instead if giving gifts to your supervisor makes you feel uncomfortable.

How nice is that?? I would send a thank you at the minimum or a "best manager" gift - you don't necessarily have to do a holiday gift.

That's nice of your manager. You can if you want, you don't have to. It's up to you

Thanks for your inputs.

Hmm. Should you send a Christmas picture card too? Or is that too personal? Work from home keeps me distant emotionally from work haha

Returning the favor with a similar gift shows your gratitude and strengthens your bond with your manager. Think of it as building positive karma in the Salesforce ecosystem.

Is it ethical for HR leadership to make false statements about an employee’s commentary or behavior. For example, if an HR lead said, “John has given us an ultimatum. He’s leaving the company if I don’t move him from your team,” when the employee never made such a statement. Feels wrong to me as it could negatively impact professional reputation. But maybe this manipulation is just the way of the world.

My hands are shaking!! I just got off a call with my toxic manager who is clearly not happy I am being poached for another division. I tried to hold firm as he attempted to 20 question me, who was it, who wants me, what division, how did they find out about me? And of course the gaslighting of “why didn’t you come to me I could have helped or made introductions”. Clearly everything is about him. How have you handled such situations? What could I have done better with my abusive manager?
