10 years at my job!


Recommended Posts

Today marked my 10 years with the same company, which also is a personal record for me as well, my longest previous was 13 months, so I am very proud of myself making it this long!

All I got was a certificate signed by the company boss, the CNIC, and the CO of the base. No money, nothing!

Same here. I hit 10 years last November and didn't get a thing, not even an email to say congrats.

Congrats dude, I'm a month away from hitting the exact same thing, 4th job role within the company but 10 years is fast approaching.

My company has an increasing scale based on 5 year increments, the 10 I'm about to hit is £600 (as in I have to buy something and expense it back). I think it only goes as high as 25 years of service and recently someone hit 30 years and got nothing :(

Congrats, I hit 12 year last month (may) in the same company, but nothing for me from my employer.

Aww. That's alright. On behalf of Neowin, have a cookie!

yep 15yr you get £150 voucher and another days leave and 25yr service is a £500 voucher. 

our annual salary is always above inflation, with a double % increase if you go above and beyond, I got 5% this year :) (rest got 2.5%) in 10yrs my salary has basically doubled without any proper promotion as such. Private biomedical sector and IT.

    • I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.
    • If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
    • I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it
    • Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
