My work Service Award was overlooked.

I've worked for places that did nothing to honor service anniversaries, and I've worked for places that did. Trust me, I'd much rather work someplace where they did nothing than at the ones where it was poorly managed and some people got the recognition and others were overlooked. Get it right so everyone is treated equally or don't bother. I feel for ya, AAA.

:agree:

Here we are supposed to get recognition awards after 10 years and then every 5 years after that. But it is up to each major departmental unit to put in the names to get certificates, and in the later years gift certificates, generated and sent out. Four years ago I got my first, for 20 years service. I suspect if I had not made a fuss when I got my layoff notice one month before I would have completed the 20 years, I would not have seen that either. The $25 gift certificate at least bought a decent Kensington mouse at the campus store. Still working on making up the $150 a week loss in pay.
