Ok, I have a question for the old farts on here... What did your companies do for you as far as retirement parties / gifts? How about your colleagues / friends?
While I am not an old fart I know some and here is an example.
The govt gave me a shitty $50 watch with their name on it for 20 years service.
My office had a nice luncheon for me and included some of the TxDOT folks I worked with
My office “Team” gave me a $100 Bass Pro Shop gift card
And most of all my boss and the big boss finagled me an extra performance bonus for the year designated to buy myself a $3000 watch with.
Gave myself a fishing boat😀
Employees paid for lunch & team gift
Govt paid for shitty watch
Technically the govt paid for the good watch
