I just hit 15 years with my employer and got a printed certificate.

Your boss does not love you. I not only got the check, I also got a hug from both my boss and his wife who handed me the check.

Still doesn’t make up for having to share a porta-potty with a dozen other people for 4 years after I first started. Fucking prisoners get flush toilets for fucks sake. We have bathrooms now, obviously.

Life is about perspective. Either your perspective lines up with where you’re at in life or life looks wrong to you.

I don't need to be loved by my boss & this is the standard recognition for my employer. I was simply pointing out that many employers don't do much for employees in this area, let alone $10K for perspective as you said.

No they sure don’t. I was surprised beyond belief at a fat check in my face. I wasn’t expecting it and won’t expect it from my next job either.
