We have a centralized EA pool and each EA supports multiple execs. What would be appropriate for a holiday gift for my EA? She’s been assigned to me for four years and only does my expense reports and processing project invoices.

I have no idea how much you make but if I had to hazard a guess, you 100% can afford it, you probably make 5X what your EA does, everyone deserves some love and support, especially these days. I make 300K and can afford 500$ budget for my EA, if you are looking for specifics.

And I’m not looking for a specific gift suggestions but what price range should I plan to spend? I’m curious what others have done to see if I’m doing too much or not enough.

What’s the ratio of executives to EA?

5-6 to 1

Always done 250 for holidays, 100$ for birthdays and 100$ for admin appreciation day. Have an EA who splits time similar to what you called out.

Venting… I had a PC reach out last week for services (commercial real estate) who proceeded to tell me that their project is going to make me the “gold standard” , so rich and etc. further they wanted me to send them a plan of everything needed for all the phases of development and an estimated cost. The call completely drained me and rubbed me the wrong way. Then they brought up my age and me being younger, saying it’s an opportunity of a life time. It felt extremely condescending.

Looking for input . My company's policy has always been to pay out on rollover PTO when you leave the company. My last day was Jan 8th, and I had 10 days from 2020 I was supposed to be paid on. I talk to my manager and a VP in HR, and they both confirmed I would be paid on the PTO in my Jan 15th paycheck. However, I was not paid and when I emailed about it I was told there was a PTO policy change in April of 2020 and the company no longer pays on carry over PTO...

I'm just flabbergasted, frustrated but not surprised.
