I'm surprised you didn't get anything when you hit your 20-year mark with the school system, even upon retiring. Seems like they could have given you a plant or a mug or something!<br /><br />At the school where I currently work, all departing faculty and staff are recognized at a school-wide meeting, and I think everyone with more than 5 years of service gets a bouquet. But then, we're a private school, so we don't have the pressure of having to account for expenditures of tax money -- maybe your state school system wisely thought it better to spend money on students!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-39090340657209914142018-01-28T02:17:22.270+00:002018-01-28T02:17:22.270+00:00recognition makes all the difference!
In the last...recognition makes all the difference! <br />In the last place I worked, we received a free massage four times a year. They were trying hard to be good employers and the massage was nice but it couldn't make up for the fact that people felt unrecognised and the pay was low. It's not all about pay but without good morale or good pay, the massages were viewed with cynicism.<br />It's important to get the balance right.<br /><br />Three years of weekly commitment is a good effort.
