Ooh, a catalog? We get no options at 5 years. We get a pin.

Nephythys · 09-23-2006, 11:40 AM

We used to get something at 5 years- then we got bought and now we get a lunch.

whoop

I'll be 7 years in April- *sigh* would be nice to get something.

Congrats!

We also got a very small pin/tietack at five years. whoopdeefreakindo. I'm so jealous!

When I hit 5 with my current employer, I got a plaque, with a little slot that they give you an updated nameplate every 5 years.

At ten I got the new nameplate, and a clock. It's a nice enough clock (glass, with a little 'roundy-round' pendulum thingy at the bottom, that runs off a different battery powered motor than the clock itself)

My previous employer at 1 you got a keychain and later you picked from a catalog. I got a little travel alarm clock with the company logo on it for 5 yrs.

Damn, I don't think I've ever made 5 Years with one company or if I did I got nadda.

Good for you.

I think you should pick four or five items you like and post a poll. Let us all vote on which one we think you should get and then you get whatever it is you want anyway cuz after all, what in the hell do we know.

Know what I got at 5 years? Nothing

At ten Years? Nothing

At twenty years? Nothing

At twenty five years (yes, I've been there that long!)

You guessed it. Nothing.

So all you folks who only get a little pin, at least it's some kind of recognition. And those who get more, congrats!

Congratulations, I'm going on 7 years at my current employer and we get nada.

Congratulations on the milestone! May you continue to grow and prosper until you run the company!

I've got a friend who works for Universal, he's just passed over 20 years (he started as a gate guard at the studio and met everyone who came through said gates)

You know, I kid about the pin, but in reality, it's been nice to go to our company's quarterly all-hands meetings and see them give out 5, 10, 15, even 20 and 25 year awards on a regular basis. Considering that at my last job I was laid off during the 3rd round of layoffs within 1.5 years, it's a refreshing change to be somewhere that hangs on to their employees and at least does something to recognize it.
