"My company gives awards for the 5, 10, 15, etc. year marks. They forgot my 5 years' work anniversary and did nothing when I mentioned it. Granted, it was during the pandemic, but they could have at least given me a greeting card. Now new people are reaching the 5 years milestones, and they celebrated them today and I'm so upset, and I feel devalued."

"My boss recognized me for my service anniversary in front of the entire company during an all-hands meeting. It was mortifying. I am so shy, and I hate public attention. Besides being incredibly embarrassed, it reminded me that they really don’t know me at all and didn’t bother to take the time to think about how I would prefer to be recognized. It turned a moment of private celebration into a moment of torture."
