Holiday Gifts

Post by Anonymous User » Thu Dec 11, 2014 12:46 pm

What's the going rate for gifts (read: gift card) for big law legal secretaries? $50 since I haven't been with her a full year? Since I'm not eligible for a bonus yet and my spouse is unemployed I want to be generous, but not TOO generous.

50 is fine if you're a stubbie.
