When I hit 20 years with my company, they sent me a $10 gift card to Panda Express, which means that I accrued .50 cents of orange chicken for every year of employment. This is funny because it's true

When I hit 15 years my company offered a selection of nice gifts. I chose a very nice pot & pan set for my new house. When I hit 20 years I got nothing! Then, this past March, 6 weeks before my 25th anniversary, my job went to India and they laid me off! I wanted to retire anyway 😪 😁 😀
A few years ago, for "Teacher Appreciation Week," the school district gave me a pack of Excel chewing gum. The last few years, I've received nothing. Maybe they felt I suffered from a severe case of halitosis, and they show their appreciation that I've dealt with it by not giving me gum.
one company i used to work for talked about how there should be loyalty to the job and after their speeches i would go around the rest of us and talk about how if they wanted loyalty they should either pay us more or get a fuckin dog. they're out of business now btw.
Actually the first time was funny because within a year they wanted me back for a tricky project, and my hourly rate was so high that the board of a major bank had to sign off on every renewal.
Tech is nothing if not a bastion of ageism. One of the many reasons I left it behind. I hope you find your reason to get out of bed again. But I've been there. I know that all too well.
My former company gifted me a $1500 watch for staying 10 years with them.
I didn’t like the watch so gave it away.
I would have had better use of the Panda Express gift card…
I was at my last employer for 10 years. I had a new leader for the last 2 of those who started off fine but seemed to have it out for me for some reason*. She sent me a fucking edible arrangement when I left
*I was smarter than her and could sniff out her complete bullshit

Uncooked rice.
No guys, stop. It’s NewsCorp. Times are hard. Still reeling from that 700 million dollar judgment. Lmao!!!!
So tired of the corporate world. The fight has left me.
Worse still, all the people made redundant were middle aged white guys. Can't question that though.
