I remember being in my 20’s in one of my first “real” jobs and seeing a man retire after 30-something years with the company. Apart from the cake, the company got him…drum roll please…..an ink pen. Now, I do realize some pens may be worth a lot of money and maybe that one was, but to my young eyes it looked cheap. Didn’t even engrave it for him, although it did have the logo of the company on it.
