And what do they do give ma a postcard signed by the CEO , Whoot! it was all worth it

 

Well, that and 10 years worth of paychecks!

 

my mom got a Movado watch for her 10th year. The longest job i held was 4 years. There was a list of junks to choose from, I picked a crystal vase. I putted Hersey Kisses and Nuggets in it. LOL

 

yeah my wife had a catalog of gifts to choose from. I mean I know I will probably see "be glad you have a job" and stuff like that. But really a postcard? really I didn't need to be reminded unless they are going to actually give me something. The post card is like, hey you have been here for ten years and what are you worth to us?...a postcard . A lunch or something would have been nice.

 

hahaha archangel please share where is this so I know where never to apply for a job at, just kidding man that sucks good luck

 

I have been working at a t-shirt printing shop for 11 years, all I got for my 10 was a dang T-shirt.

 

you beat me to it archangel, lucky to have a job, tough out there - take it from one who is looking. oh, love the quote in your sig too.

But yeah, a postcard that sucks. What did they do mail it to your house or hand deliver it to your desk? Some employers just don't get how important it is to appreciate/show recognition to their people - especially tenured ones.

 

^^ did they let you pick out which one you wanted?

 

Damn beandip that sucks

 

tell me about it, IDK I figured I would get maybe a payed day off some where?

 

hahaha damn these stories kind of suck

 

I didn't get anything for my 10 year... some coworkers bought me a few beers after work, but that's it.

 

sell the card on ebay.

 

 

take a pic let us see the postcard please..

 

that sucks all that hard work and just a card. well maybe on the next mile stone you'll get a day off or something. im with the other guy sell it on ebay lol..

 

well, i guess it is time to burn the building down bro.

but seriously, if you hadn't noticed...there is a bit of a global recession going on. what did you expect? what kind of company do you work at? how many people stay there for 10 years? do they have a fair amount of turnover or are there lots of people there their whole lives?

 

 

No house burning here, I work for a multi billion dollar company that is bucking the trend of the recession, things are flat but are not in the red. I don't know how many people is employed as a whole but I can guess not many get to the 10 year point, there is a lot of turn over at the lower levels. The company makes money millions from me doing my job correctly yet they can't pop for lunch? Puh lease. I would have rather not had the postcard. Its just asinine to me.

 

yeah we get some pretty cool stuff and lunch of our choice Mike. LOL, ive been with Mercury for 12 yrs. LOL.
