'I got 10 months of pay on my 10th anniversary': 32 employees share what their companies gifted them after 10 years of service

If you choose to dedicate a lot of years to a company, it's only fair to expect recognition for your loyalty. Once you hit 10, 20, or even 30 years of experience in your field, you become more marketable in the job market. So, if you happen to you find yourself not being treated right despite your extensive loyalty to an employer, there's a good chance that there are other employers out there that will appreciate your skills and dedication.

From an employer's perspective, retaining employees for as long as possible is crucial. Long-term employees tend to excel at their jobs, which then contributes to the company's growth and success. High employee turnover makes it a lot harder to grow the company to new levels, as constant recruitment and training can slow down or stall progress.

So, with that being said, get your employees a dang gift for their work anniversary. You won't believe what it'll do for retention. Just check out this thread of employees who got some great, and also some not-so-great gifts from their companies. And while you're at it, don't do what this boss did: 'I went above and beyond and was awarded an exceptional yearly performance review': Company cancels $1,500 Christmas bonuses just 10 days prior to distribution.
