At my last company you got given a Mont Blanc fountain pen for five years service. They went bust when I was at about 4.5 years… I just picked up my five years here. A certificate and a picture of me receiving it on the intranet! A great reward.
Long Service Awards - what you packing
It’s my ten year anniversary next month. I’ll let you know (it will involve me getting doughnuts in and not much else)

After twenty years I’m hoping I’ll get a pension that will keep me alive, permission to not have to work here any more and a bus pass.

Think you get an extra days annual leave added on every five years?
I can’t imagine ever receiving a long service award because I can’t imagine ever working somewhere for more than four years.

if possible. but if it were accurate then in fact you would assign me to make the certificate for myself but ‘we need it yesterday’

Nothing but I get an email from my old manager downstairs on the anniversary of the day I joined. It has the adverse effect than his intention (unless he’s doing it to mug me off).
