Long service awards scheme advice .

[Chelseablue]

I`m not sure if Royal mail have stopped giving out long service vouchers/gifts. I had 30 years service in at the end of January 2021. I received my badge, mounted on cardboard, in a cardboard box in mid March but nothing else. A friend of mine who works at a different office also only got a badge.
Anyway, its a nice badge and its better than nothing.

You are joking i hope,a nice badge lol

Recieved my little badge for 30 years service about 2 weeks ago with a letter to log in to some site to choose a gift or a voucher for £100. Had quite a few to choose from, just picked Argos meself. Also a rumour of a meal out sometime somewhere! 20 year service meal was brilliant, a day at the races with a sit down meal and free beer. Don't suppose they had share holders to explain that expense to then though!
I do remember years ago a friend of my mums who worked 30years for the John Lewis stores. She got a full year off with full pay!! Amazing! Obviously a rarity for that company to work there that long but a little bit better than our badge!

Please don't get excited if you are coming up to a milestone in your 'career' at Royal Mail.

Unless you collect badges

Long service awards change all the time it just depends when your time comes up I got 100 quid voucher and the meal for 30 years service people who did 30 years a year before me got 150 pounds voucher but no meal

How did you hold back from smashing the f**k out your managers at the meal?

Thats why I always skip ANY kind of social function where Managers are likely to be present. I just cant trust myself not to have a go at them ... Verbally I hasten to add!

A colleague got one of the new cheap and tacky cards 'signed' by ST for completing 20 years of her sentence early last year.

Most of us agreed we'd rather receive nothing that that pathetic excuse for recognition.

Nice to know I'll have nothing to show for my years of service soon. Maybe I'll get my knee X-rayed and framed to immortalise what I have inadvertantly received for my efforts.

I think the extra annual leave is a decent reward for service.
I’ve always tried to view it that I’d always choose that every year over some one-off gesture.

That can't be right I had a 20 year silver badge in 2021!!!

What kind of social functions are you being invited to that involve any of your managers being in attendance?

We used to have a christmas meal where everyone would get together, that was a few years ago now.
