Grocery gift cards along with a personal note would be welcomed. Gift cards that people won’t use, aren’t very helpful, but ones for the local grocery store or Walmart if there is one in town is a good choice. Everyone buys groceries, and Walmart sells such a variety of things that pretty much anyone can find something they want whether it’s food, electronics or clothes.

As someone else mentioned, give separate gifts/cards for the night shift. Most of the time they miss out on gifts and food all together because they are gone before they ever make it into the building for their shift.

Could be. Just think of it from their perspective, they probably get gifts on occasion from patients. In all reality, if it’s not a gift that would be particularly useful to them they will probably just get rid of it. A card letting them know how they personally made your experience positive might be something they keep on the corner of the desk or somewhere in the office as a nice reminder

I saved off all my application data in a OneNote. It was crazy how many times I’d see the exact same job posting across multiple sites like Indeed, LinkedIn, and through various and sundry headhunters.

Using OneNote let me search by keyword so if I saw a listing I could search jobs I’d already applied for and make sure not to apply a second (or third, or fourth) time.

At the time, I was also collecting unemployment so I had to submit information on all my contacts (applications, phone calls with prospective employers, interviews, follow-ups) so having it all in one place was extremely helpful. It took me about 3 months to land a new role and being organized about it certainly helped.

This is far too dependent on the context to be at all helpful. Sometimes what they might consider a “punishment” is you setting healthy boundaries. You have every right end relationships if needed and protect yourself and your own well-being.

Always forgive, but that doesn’t mean things go back to the way they were. But like I said, each situation is so wildly different.
