10 year Service Award....

[Laura's Babies]

I was with the company I am working for 10 years last fall and they give service awards every 5 years. They finally shipped mine to me and I can honestly say, I am IMPRESSED! I choose a wall clock from the catalog of gifts they sent, never dreaming it would be anything more than a cheap plastic clock.

This thing is ALL wood and weighs a ton! I was stunned at the quality of it, how nice it is and they even have the little gold plate on it with my name and 10 year service award and the company name...

....and to think I was at school for 21 years and never even got a "Thank You".... 10 years with this company and what a way to reconize somebody!!

This is my 10 year award! (The clock, not the pictures) It is 25 inches long and 13 wide.

Congrats on 10 years!!!

Very nice clock.

Very nice! I'm impressed, they must think highly of their employees, to give a nice gift. That's a company that sounds like they want to hang on to the good ones!

For my 5th year I picked a gold chain. All their awards have the company imblem (spelling?) so the chain came with that charm already on it. The clock also has it on the gold plate. You can select luggage, clothes, jewelry, golfing stuff... stuff like that. They are always sending out safety awards. We got a watch several years ago for 2 years without a loss time injury so that is why I didn't want the watch for the service award.

Not long ago we got a really nice T-shirt and cap with a new logo that they held a contest on for the employees to come up with a newer image and they got a wonderful one, had it put on the shirts and hats for us and sent all the employees one (they were extra nice ones too!). We get safety bonuses every 4 months $$$$, all kinds of perks.

I think it is great that they do that, it lets us know they realize what we give up to work for them, what important things we miss and just showing they care means a lot! Of coarse we get P o'ed from time to time by a new rule or new idea someone comes up with like everyone does on any job but these "tokens" encourage you a LOT!
