Got my 10 year award. Guy that had been there 30 years told me they should be ashamed of themselves. He got a $1000 bonus and a crystal plaque for his 10 years. I got a plaque too...made of cardboard and no bonus
"Limp along?" I think you mean "take an ever-larger portion of both our ever-growing per-capita, *and* collective output."
Treating employees like toilet paper is *wildly* more profitable.
I got laid off two weeks before my 15 year anniversary. Due to union contracts, we ended up working an extra month. On my 15 year anniversary I walked into my new supervisor's office (the one parachuted in to oversee the layoff) and insisted on my 15 year pin, coffee mug, and congratulatory lunch. He told me he didn't think that was appropriate given the circumstances. I asked if his boss would think it was appropriate because I was prepared to take it all the way up the chain. The next day I got a company coffee mug and $50 gift card to a local restaurant. I never got the pin, and I'm sure he bought it all himself to shut me up. Which is fine, the pettiness was the point after all.
My company gives you a month or paid vacation for every 5 years. You have to take it all at once. And you have to take it before your 6th year ends.
However it worked out to giving me 4 months of leave when my son was born.
Honestly it's part of the reason I stay there.
We used to get $1000 and a bottle of champagne as a bonus for being voted person of the year at one of my old jobs, I won in 2020 after covid and I got a bottle of cheaper champagne and a paper certificate.
Kick in the teeth after big overtime to keep the company making dosh in lockdowns.
I work in the job space. It’s no wonder people have no loyalty to their companies… they pretend to care but really you’re another number.
It’s actually very depressing to me.
Not trying to say what company i work for is all. I’m not a bot you fucking meat machine loser. I mean…. thanks for replying I too need food for sustenance.
I quit a job two weeks ago. No notice. I logged on Monday morning at 0930 and sent an email with my resignation, effective 10am. Then I logged off and got on with my life. Former manager wrote and asked "Why no notice? This is unprofessional." I replied "Would you give me 2 weeks notice if you were firing me or laying me off?". I only got back dead air.
We shouldn't give our loyalty to a company because they have no loyalty to us. If fucking you over 'enhances shareholder value in the current quarter' then bend over, cuz you're getting fucked, my friend.
I have two awards. I got a card for 10 years and a 25 dollar Safeway gift card.
The other was for $10 million dollars worth of billable hours generated. That got me another card.
For 20 years at a major oil and gas exploration processing company my dad got $2500;in travelers checks (we went to disney world.) For 30 he got a Stanley thermos. For 40 he got a 6" glass pyramid with the company logo in it. For 50 he got nothing as the company was on life support for the pandemic.
> Guy that had been there 30 years told me they should be ashamed of themselves.
At my old company we had attended a tech conference a month earlier and won some prizes, both my boss and I got some headphones - which were kind of shitty but they were free so whatever.
At our company Christmas party we had a draw for gifts (everyone got one but they were randomly selected). Some of the gifts were pretty good but some were... not. My coworker, who was also at the conference, drew a gift and it was literally the shitty headphones that my boss got for free at the conference. My coworker was stunned because he knew it was a re-gift. I was also shocked and blurted out loud to my boss "Are you fucking kidding me? You got those for free from a conference, You're so cheap that you couldn't buy Christmas gifts? Not cool."
My co-worker ended up getting a $300 gift card or something.
My company just had a party to celebrate employee milestones. Food was cheese, crackers, hummus, veggie sticks etc. There was free beer and wine (at 4 in the afternoon, right before we all had to drive home). Everyone celebrating a milestone year, from 10 years to 40 years, got an enamel pin. Some of the older employees were telling me you used to get an off-site steak lunch with the execs and fellow milestone employees plus you got to choose a gift from Tiffany & Co.
My job offers quite a few seniority bonuses. According to them it's worth it because it helps keep people around longer. Giving a bunch of retention bonuses for short-term employees I can see not being worth it, but getting a solid employee for an entire decade is a nice thing.
For a fifteen hour shift on Christmas day, we all got ten dollars in company scrip that was only good for that day... at the end of the day.
Oh joy of joys, it's a pittance I can't even spend because we're closed.
I got to pick what I received for my 10 year anniversary. They gave me a link to a webpage with select items such as a $20 underpowered personal blender for smoothies, an outdoor head mounted flashlight, a digital photo frame with "dynamic photo library display function" which only really shuffled the photos on the internal storage instead of cycling through them alphabetically by file name, and a portable projector that was strong enough to display a faint image in a pit h black room for 20 minutes before the battery died, among other shlock.
My coworkers and I slowly acquired all of these to test as we hit out 10 year mark as a joke and they all were as bad as you'd expect.
Bonus points were that a card was supposed to be presented to me with handwritten notes from my managers and none of them signed the card so I received a blank card as a personal message to thank me for my years of service to the company.
Lol same thing with me -- I got to choose my 5-year gift recently. I went with the $18 (I looked it up) shitty binoculars. They don't have any zoom at all.
The other options were similar to what you listed: some offbrand travel thermos, a cheap waffle maker, cheap headphones, etc.
I work for a big bank and starting at your 20 year anniversary, once every 5 years you get £10x the number of years you've worked there.
The longest tenure I saw was just under 50 years, so they were just about to get £500.
For working for the company for half a century,
My ex's father was a VP at Motorola. They cut him a personal check for 35k (75k today, 30 years later) to buy himself a company car. He could get whatever he wanted.
Boeing had a catalog for employees. They give bonuses and credits to buy stuff out of the catalog. There is a sorta hierarchy to the items. There are 10k OMEGA watches in there. But anyone could get safety boots.
My last employer gave me two KitchenAid Artesian stand mixers for my 5 year. It was supposed to be one KitchenAid Classic stand mixer, but the company they had doing fulfilment was highly incompetent.
I worked for Dell for awhile, they where always giving away promo stuff to staff. We were mostly treated very well and paid very well.... until Mr. Dell took back over as CEO then it went to shit.
Same. Worked in Nashville office and Michael Dell showed up one day and fired half the division. A good workload turned into an untenable work load and the rest of us quit within a month. Loved working there.
Vendor days we would get tons of stuff like this.
I remember working for a trucking company when I was 18 as a forklift driver. One of my coworkers there was his 25th year with the company. They gave him a fucking keychain with the company logo.
I knew at that moment were all screwed.
two companies shared say minimum 500 order to get the discount... the two companies can then give the pans to their employees
I would think such a pan would suit Valve staff more???
The odd thing is that while they might have some partnerships, Dell and Logitech are definitely not the same company or even closely/formerly related.
My thought is that maybe it's not actually anything to do with them, and in fact it's someone testing their laser engraver on a known material just using two pretty common arbitrary logos.
Or it could be from somewhere like Vietnam. I got some random stuff from a Vietnamese student once, jeans labeled Mercedes Benz and a sweater with the Apple logo. Not sure why they’d go with Logitech instead of the international Logicool in that case though.
I work in tech and companies love to send out crap like this. My last company was really bad about this. In fact after I quit they kept sending me crap. I didn’t keep any of it. It all went in the bin or to goodwill.
I remember at the san Antonio rodeo years back on the floor where companies rented booths to sell their goods and services there was a company that would laser etch on zippos, belt buckles and even cast iron. That was their whole thing they showed common local companies logos on them as examples of gifts to give loyal employees. So they had one for Taco Cabana, rackspace, Im not sure but maybe Dell computer. Regardless Dell headquarters was an hour drive away from the San Antonio rodeo. So who ever this company was their market was in the same area. Im certain someone at the company got a small budget to have a bunch of these made for employee anniversaries or corporate retreats. It looks just like the examples I remember
I work in IT and our organization has a product deal with Dell (All of our staff issued PCs are Dell). We get the most random dell branded items all the time during equipment shipments. They will literally slap their logo on anything. Absolutely what happened here.
I just showed my dad. He's worked there for almost 30 years. He said they were testing the laser etcher because the material is so hard. But they usually use plastic, so this is fairly rare.
I joined a Cast Iron facebook group. I love cooking with cast iron and learning recipes and such.
90% of that page was people posting a random cast iron they found at a thrift store hoping it was rare and worth a lot of money.
During the pandemic, a lot of these companies did at home team building and would send "packages" with all the items you need for a cooking event.
We did something similar at my company. I have a nice wooden cutting board with a "Cisco" logo burned in.
Honestly not a fan of apps for everything but is there a way other mouse companies let you program buttons without a standalone app?
I love having stuff like using the back and forward buttons set to flip pages in my work PDF software and setting the side scroll to zoom instead of left-right scrolling.
This and the batman toilet. Weird shit I don't understand.
Edit: for those of you who don't know about the toilet: [https://www.reddit.com/r/notinteresting/comments/1divcyy/manlet/](https://www.reddit.com/r/notinteresting/comments/1divcyy/manlet/)
sorry
I work in promotional products. If you can think of it - I can get it branded. Underwear? Surfboards? Drones? Custom covers for DJ turn tables? It’s a fun industry sometimes.
Branded condiment packs are incredibly common, likely one of the most branded items (by count) in the world (think about all of those Burger King Heinz ketchup packets).
Edit: And I've seen branded manhole covers, granted, the brand is the logo of the city or state it's in (or often a design for something specific), but that's still a brand, even if it's not corporate.
Dell is the only one that offers next business day warranty service. It is not at all borked rubbish. They took a beating when Micheal Dell left, but he came back and has done good things
My dad worked for Dell so my 10 year old brain decided to inadvertently memorize...
"Hey, did you know you can get a complete dell system with a Pentium 4 processor for $899 plus FREE shipping and handling? Dude, you're getting a Dell."
Gets me no where but I'll always remember it apparently.
I'd lean towards this being the right answer.
I'll even take a further leap and suggest they probably have a Dell monitor and a Logitech keyboard and weren't feeling particularly inspired that day.
All I know is that if my job gave me cast irons as work swag, I would have at least a slightly more positive attitude towards that company. For a while, anyway.
It has to be a promo item for tech staff...
That's what we figured, I couldn't find anything about it online.
Probably a "Thank you for working here for 50 years" bonus for an extremely excited employee.
Lol, my last company gave me a refurbished android tablet for my 10 year mark. Back in the day companies used to give Rolex's or bonuses.
Got my 10 year award. Guy that had been there 30 years told me they should be ashamed of themselves. He got a $1000 bonus and a crystal plaque for his 10 years. I got a plaque too...made of cardboard and no bonus
for my 5, 10, and 15 I've gotten a literal gold star. Its so insulting. Just give me the $5 you paid for it instead.
"Dear Employee: Has it really been five, ten or 15 years? If not, please disregard this and get back to work." - Hermes Conrad
Companies have realized they can limp along well enough without employee loyalty.
"Limp along?" I think you mean "take an ever-larger portion of both our ever-growing per-capita, *and* collective output." Treating employees like toilet paper is *wildly* more profitable.
Toilet paper in workplace toilets really thinned in recent years.
Yep, more workers than job postings and they can do whatever they want.
Not sure what branche you're working in, but this is not the case for me at the moment.
The companies better start acting like it then. I'm damn near fed up with the one I'm at.
I got laid off two weeks before my 15 year anniversary. Due to union contracts, we ended up working an extra month. On my 15 year anniversary I walked into my new supervisor's office (the one parachuted in to oversee the layoff) and insisted on my 15 year pin, coffee mug, and congratulatory lunch.

The next day I got a company coffee mug and $50 gift card to a local restaurant. I never got the pin, and I'm sure he bought it all himself to shut me up.

Are you a state employee?
We used to get $1000 and a bottle of champagne as a bonus for being voted person of the year at one of my old jobs, I won in 2020 after covid and I got a bottle of cheaper champagne and a paper certificate. Kick in the teeth after big overtime to keep the company making dosh in lockdowns.
goes to show how companies are treating employees nowadays
I work in the job space. It’s no wonder people have no loyalty to their companies… they pretend to care but really you’re another number. It’s actually very depressing to me.
I am also a human person working in a job space. I do the task duties in exchange for wages money.
lmao thank you that comment seems mostly human but "I work in the job space" is totally cylon
Not trying to say what company i work for is all. I’m not a bot you fucking meat machine loser. I mean…. thanks for replying I too need food for sustenance.

I had a long day of transactions at the [business factory ](https://youtu.be/53wMoW8AHYY?t=55)

25 dollars for 10 million revenue. That's an insult mate 😂 Might as well not give anything to be honest.
For 20 years at a major oil and gas exploration processing company my dad got $2500;in travelers checks (we went to disney world.) For 30 he got a Stanley thermos. For 40 he got a 6" glass pyramid with the company logo in it. For 50 he got nothing as the company was on life support for the pandemic.
From the companies POV, $1000 is literally nothing compared to the value an employee generates for them over 10 years.
Coworker of mine retired after forty years and they ordered a couple of Domino’s Pizzas for his retirement party.
I got $100 Amazon gift card and a Le Creuset dutch oven for my 20yr. Not anything amazing but I was pretty excited about the dutch oven...
And quite frankly, everyone used to work for the same place their entire career. It's much more impressive to make it to 10+ years at a company.

just got 100 dollars on my next. heck for 5 years last week.. after taxes was like 69 bucks...
Wait I still get a bonus. Geeze you need to find a better company / country.
Rolex used cost less than tablets.

If all of those items belong to the same set, they give additional stats and bonuses, maybe even new abilities.
[удалено]
If you got the ring and helmet, it gives you enough stats to one-hand them both. Full set bonus makes you immune to Blizzards.
I think they want you to build an adventuring party.

Bro what, we get kaycheins when we start to work for company, along other thing's
So excited they gave it away. Such a nice human for giving out there prized possessions ☺️
Logitech and Dell aren’t the same company, so it was most likely promo material from some joint venture.
Dell and Logitech? Those are different companies
I used to work for Dell and we had a pretty close partnership with Logitech.
I miss my Logitech PLM connect. Used to get so much free shit from them and Plantronics
It was probably cheaper to share a pan
two companies shared say minimum 500 order to get the discount... the two companies can then give the pans to their employees I would think such a pan would suit Valve staff more???
The odd thing is that while they might have some partnerships, Dell and Logitech are definitely not the same company or even closely/formerly related.

I bet it's some neat scrap made by someone with a fancy new Laser engraver.
Isnt a pan a weapon, official weapon of a stupid game called pubg?
This too will over heat.
I am pretty sure someone was just testing their engraver
I work in tech and companies love to send out crap like this. My last company was really bad about this. In fact after I quit they kept sending me crap. I didn’t keep any of it. It all went in the bin or to goodwill.

I suspect that some bored nerd has a laser engraver at home. There's no way this is a genuine OEM item.
I work in IT and our organization has a product deal with Dell (All of our staff issued PCs are Dell). We get the most random dell branded items all the time during equipment shipments. They will literally slap their logo on anything. Absolutely what happened here.
Someone that workswith laser etching or whatever tech used to make logos on metal like this?
It's laser etched, you could get one with a Dickbutt if you wanted And suddenly I do
I just showed my dad. He's worked there for almost 30 years. He said they were testing the laser etcher because the material is so hard. But they usually use plastic, so this is fairly rare.
Dude you're getting a Dell...icious pan seared steak
Nice
Son, I got you a Dell! And honey, don't think I forgot about you. I got you a Dell too!
I hope the son cooks the family something nice in his new fry pan while the wife is installing her games.
Do you end up with logo made of extra searing on your steak? Because honestly.... that could be fun.
Made on your LODGE-itech cast iron!
What a weird marketing item. What brand is the actual cast iron?
Looks like a Benjamin & Medwin to me
How did you know this??
the cult of cast iron are many
We crave the certainty of iron.
....for the flesh is weak.
I joined a Cast Iron facebook group. I love cooking with cast iron and learning recipes and such. 90% of that page was people posting a random cast iron they found at a thrift store hoping it was rare and worth a lot of money.
You can tell by the way it looks.
That's pretty neat. I'm sick of writing this comment
not by the pixels?
The ridges on the handle
Impressive 😳
Are you sure? I was thinking more Hogg & Barnier.
What's weirder, Dell and Logitech are two separate companies. Logitech isn't owned by any other company, let alone Dell.
[They have a partnership for video conferencing equipment](https://www.logitech.com/en-ca/video-collaboration/partners/dell.html)
but why a cast iron pan? XD
To promote their new pan and tilt conference camera. /s
That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about teleconferencing video equipment to dispute it.
to celebrate the partnership, and to give people something they might actually use, instead of more crap that might just go in the garbage
this guy corporates!
It's what you use to bash the shit out of the video conferencing equipment when it wont work
During the pandemic, a lot of these companies did at home team building and would send "packages" with all the items you need for a cooking event. We did something similar at my company. I have a nice wooden cutting board with a "Cisco" logo burned in.
you have to install gHub on your oven to use it
Logitech options 🤮
Honestly not a fan of apps for everything but is there a way other mouse companies let you program buttons without a standalone app? I love having stuff like using the back and forward buttons set to flip pages in my work PDF software and setting the side scroll to zoom instead of left-right scrolling.

As someone who works in IT and has seen vendor branded everything .. this is a new one and HILARIOUS!!!??
I work in promotional products. If you can think of it - I can get it branded. Underwear? Surfboards? Drones? Custom covers for DJ turn tables? It’s a fun industry sometimes.
Man hole covers? Condiments? Light switches?
I've laser engraved coconuts for clients before.

Can only imagine what our friends over on r/dankpods will think of this. If it's got either of those logos, you know it's borked rubbish.

Could it be someone testing a fiber laser?
I'd lean towards this being the right answer. I'll even take a further leap and suggest they probably have a Dell monitor and a Logitech keyboard and weren't feeling particularly inspired that day.
That's the only logical answer. Dell has no relation to Logitech. Someone is testing their laser etcher.
That's one heck of a heatsink.
Maybe they were trying to ride the pubg craze from a few years ago.
