    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.

      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.
