I have been working for my company for twenty years now. TWENTY YEARS! I have stayed because of the job security that it has offered and I have needed. About ten years ago they decided to take away our longevity bonuses which really sucked because it was the only thing that really made me feel like it mattered that I dedicated myself to them. Five years ago was fifteen years for me. Was there a big check for me? Nope. Just a mini catalog of things to choose from "for my many years of service". It wouldn't have been so bad if the choices were better than something I can buy myself for $30!
This month I have reached twenty years. Now for some reason I thought they would at least do SOMETHING really big for twenty years. I guess that is what I get for thinking. I opened my mail today to find yet ANOTHER insulting catalog(check out the website at www.awardselect.com/c.jsp?
Don't get me wrong. I fully understand that I am very blessed to have had a job for so long. Especially with how bad this nation is doing right now. I guess I am just feeling sorry for myself. I just REALLY wanted SOMETHING BIG to represent what I think is such a BIG event.
