I work as an executive assistant to two extremely well-paid, high-level professionals (they make a million a year with bonuses). Yesterday, one of them gave me a gift card with a note "thanks for all you do". I checked the balance: fricking $25 bucks!!! All I could think was "WOW". I was stunned. Now keep in mind, I just love working with the guy, he's an awesome person. I went through all possible scenarios: Q: Does he just not know what's appropriate? A: Not possible - he's been in the business way too long AND has a wife who most likely helps him out. Q: Does he value me THAT little? A: He's never given me any indication of a problem. Always praising my work, says he couldn't do his job w/o me. Q: Is he just that cheap? A: I do his expenses. He has no problem spending 1K+ on a round of golf at an exclusive club w/ clients. The other person I support typically gives me a card with money in it-say 500 or so. I gave the f'ing card to our garage attendant!! HELP ME - what to do??
