What’s the best gift you bought/brought to a gift exchange this year? I’m short a couple presents. And feel free to shamelessly promote your own side gigs. It’s not like we’ll be able to tell.

Depends on the price range. The most popular gifts at our gift exchange were booze and pizza gift cards, but the target price was $20. For cheaper you could go with a funny mug, coffee gift card, picture frame, chocolate?

Just started a new role in industry 2 months ago and my manager sent me a long email today saying he is not happy with my performance and is not at par with my level.

They might be building a case to let me go.
