We get a pin every 5 years. At 20 years you get a $150 credit at the company store. Its a bag of arse.

Buddy works for a smaller company got a rolex for 20 years

My company doesn’t do anything (I don’t think) but some companies do

Schwab gives a month paid sabbatical for example

That's because there is none.

Longevity just means higher labor costs to pencil pushers (soon to be AI pushers).

Company gave a $100 check that was taxed for every 5 years. So for my 30th I got about $65.

You think getting a little tchotchke from the boss makes a person more than a worker? Give me a break.

It could go a long way for some, yes. To say you wouldn’t appreciate a trip to Hawaii paid for is asinine.

My company does points to a catalog. Over the years I’ve got a wood router, table saw and some Amazon gift cards I used to get some blue tooth speakers.

A 2.5% longevity increase at 15, 20, and 25 years. Other than that, nothing

95% of people who stay with the same company for 20+ years are suckers

Obviously the 5% are those that work for companies with a pension. My company offered a great matching 401K and a pension. I would always shake my head when young people would quit because they got their feelings hurt. Over 30+ years I had supervisors that treated me like crap and ones that treated me like I was the most valuable person in the company. I had 0% raises and ones close to 30%. You just roll with it and do the future retirement math.
