Last year I completed 10 years worked at a company. I got a generic card basically saying to keep up the good work.
Someone else I worked with got a pin after 15 years.
I heard at 20 years you get a coffee mug.
At 25 years you get a new yacht for your boss.
I once worked at a place that had a fun “birthday wheel”
You got to spin it on your birthday and get a prize.
After 7 years of working 60 hour weeks I got a $5 Pete’s gift card. The same day a marketing intern won a Vespa.
It was an important lesson about how hard work does not pay
Shortly after my company was acquired I got notified of my 20 year anniversary. They kept our original hire dates from old company.
They let you pick stuff from a catalog. I got a shop vac and a "pearl" necklace. 5 years later, they added a visa gift card option. Always take the gift card.
Reminds me of the TV show severance, work a few more years and maybe you will get the music and dance experience soon
Don't even think about the finger traps, I got it in the bag this quarter
I got a George Foreman Grill for 5 years. It was actually quite useful.
