I worked at a major engineering firm.

No ten-year or 20-year recognitions for anyone.

No big deal.

General Dynamics and Honeywell gave crappy little gifts like a tool set that probably cost $10 or a fake woodgrain plastic plaque. We all thought they’d have been much better off giving nothing rather than cheap junk.

No recognition is better than crappy recognition. At least if the company just ignores that stuff then there are no expectations. But when they start doing stuff it needs to be good stuff otherwise it becomes insulting. And in lieu of a raise, well that’s extra insulting.

I get recognition.

I get an email that says ‘Thanks’.

Cool by me.

I just celebrated my third anniversary with my current company, and lunch was catered today. LOL, lunch is always catered on Tuesday.

I was shocked when the office threw me a surprise party on my 70th birthday 18 months ago. Great company, we’re treated well.
