I was subsequently gifted a WHOLE SWEATER. Huzzah! How lovely to be appreciated and remunerated at the highest level.

Ours has an online portal where we get to choose gifts. I’ve heard from some that at the 10 year mark, we can get a cruise/trip to somewhere like Hawaii for almost a week. One also mentioned a big screen TV, but that sounded like a dated one when they were $1k+.

I’ve been really grateful to be here (there’s been other benefits too, not just dumb gifts lol). So far for the first few years, I got stuff like a new set of pots and pans for my kitchen and an espresso machine (cheaper model, but hey, it’s still free espresso maker!), and some other tech stuff I can’t remember off the top of my head. Not exactly cheap stuff either. I tried going for the expensive stuff since it’s free lol, like $100-$200 range for some of the stuff I got.

Though we just got acquired by a bigger company, so it might be pizza parties here on out… It was cool because the company was acquiring other companies and your time with them counted, they didn’t reset the clock when the acquisition came through. So if you were with Company X for 9 years when X got acquired, you kept that time and got to choose the 10 year tier gifts on your next year like everyone else. One guy on my team has been with his company through 2-3 acquisitions a month before I was born…

Unknown what’s up with this acquisition and how things are. But they have so far given us $15 gift cards and cookies mailed out to welcome us so there’s that.

RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
