I've been working for the same company for fifteen years now. At their amazement that I lasted this long, they decided to offer me a gift. I'm not sure how other companies amazed and bewildered by a long lasting employee offer rewards, but my company sent me to a website and urged me to select a gift.
I was expecting jackets and watches that feature the company logo, and those were a part of the offering, but there were also dozens of other items I could choose. More jewelry, a camping tent, binoculars, a dart board, and cooking ware are all on the list.
There was nothing that struck me that it was "the" item. As a result, I haven't selected anything yet. I've been back to the website twice to review and narrow down my options. I'm down to a tent and a watch. I don't really need either but I'd probably use those the most. I'm not sure why I'm taking it so seriously. Maybe because it's a one time deal, like if I choose the wrong item I'll be stuck with it forever.
After fifteen years you would think I would be able to make a decision! In the back of my head I keep telling myself that I ought to hurry up and make my selection before they fire me and I miss the opportunity.
