Hi fishes,
It’s my 1st switch so please guide me. Hr from Siemens called yesterday to discuss salary they offered 6 and said we have this band only. I said I have an offer of 7.3 so atleast match this. Now I want to ask for joining bonus as its Work from office. Shall I wait for offer letter to come then ask or shall I call today itself before getting OL? Also I wanted to negotiate more for salary. Please share if somehow I can? Any suggestions Infosys Tata Consultancy ZS Associates KPMG Microsoft

We get visa gift cards for thanksgiving typically…then a small gift like a hot cocoa kit or something for the Christmas season. This is NOT in lieu of a bonus.
I’m with a medium sized private agency
I don't, thankfully. I don't consider that acceptable, either. Very pizza party vibes.

I worked at publicis before and they give you gifts for most of the bigger festivals/occasions. Nothing to do with any raise or something.
I've encountered radically different gift etiquette on different accounts
Yaaay a free gift! 🤡🤡🤡🤡 Ask them to pay you properly

They usually give us a coffee mug or a $25 gift card to a chain restaurant. I always make sure to mention how much I love Chili's during the holidays for that reason. But it's not in lieu of a raise or bonus, it's just something to make you feel appreciated.
On the one hand I appreciate the gesture. I love gifts. On the other hand I can't help but feel like my agency is trying to buy me off. Sometimes feels like a bribe.
