I was reading the Christmas bonus thread and thought how things change over the years..
My old man started working for the Imperial Chemical Incorporation (ICI) in 1960 and on 25 years service they took him off to London on an all expenses paid trip, when they arrived at the hotel they presented him with a camera, flash, telephoto and bag etc, all in all around £1000.00/$2000.00.
My Mrs did 25 years in the Civil service a good few years back they offered her £100.00 or a week off work.
I have done 8 years in the Civil Service and got kicked out because I have a Disability, they did pay me compo, but no thank you for your devoted time..
How times change...
