And all I got was an automated email wishing me “well”.

Not even a mention in a Teams chat, let alone any kind of reward. I used to listen to my grandfather and father tell stories of getting gold lapel pins or entire vacations for 5, 10, 15-year anniversaries.

My reward? I got put on a PIP last week. Oh, and our government has just decided that no matter how long you’ve worked somewhere, you’ll only get one year paid out. If I was fired today, they’d have to accumulate 10 years of extra payments. Later this year, just the one. Which is what they’re waiting for undoubtedly.

So, happy monday everyone! As a gift to myself I’ve decided to give extra little fucks about anything today.

EDIT: thanks for all the well-wishes, it’s honestly appreciated! Warms my cold, dead heart a mite.

    Lol they used to do that where I work too but they got rid of it years ago. Now the only service related things you get are an extra week of vacation and a different colored hard hat at 5 years, and your name on the digital board every 5 years after that.

      an extra week of vacation Damn, that’s nothing to scoff at! That’s 1/4th of a full paycheck. I would kill for that at this point lol. Guess continued employment - for now - seems to be the most I can hope for.
