That makes sense. You used to still hear that term being used twenty years ago. I had read the introduction of less-than-full-time jobs was a point of industrial dispute in the mid 80s so conflated AGs with actual casuals.clashcityrocker wrote: ↑31 May 2025, 18:56Associate grade (AG) was a term used to refer to part time staff.

Re: 30 years service
Do you get even an acknowledgement for 10 and 20 years now?
Colleagues have passed these landmarks and have not even had a certificate or 'well done' from a manager.

Re: 30 years service
Somebody (retired 2 years ago) did 40 years, he got £200 for basically his entire life's service to the company.
It worked out as 10p a week (£0.096). What a company!!!!

Same in many places now, I did over 34 years at my old job, got made redundant and they made sure I got the absolute minimum, no thanks for your long service, nothing.

Re: 30 years service
The little cruciform? Is it silver for 20 years? I started wearing my red 10 year one for what little spiritual boost it gives me in these dark days (figuratively and, in December when signing out, literally).
