Yeah PwC does real-time recognition. I probably get $600 a year near the end of Q2 and Q4 when they are probably getting HR emails to send em

When I was at KPMG they used to give them out like candy. It was 1200 bucks and I got it both years. Now that I am at Deloitte we shall see cause that was a SOLID perk getting a random 200 bucks

like

I was at kpmg when they gave them out “like candy” as you said. Everyone in my group got one. After a year or 2 they stopped giving out the $500 ones and only gave out $200. Then I left for Deloitte where I’m getting paid way more so the “extra” $1000 doesn’t matter since my salary is higher

When I was at Deloitte it came on a gift card that couldn’t be easily converted to cash. “Thanks for the 300 hour month. Here’s a gift card.”

like

At Deloitte managers and above can nominate staff for $500 spot bonuses. Partners can make it higher. I once received a $3,500 bonus for my hard work.

like

Yes EY has something similar with both gift cards and cash rewards. Not sure if there's a cap though.

Is it me or does the newer generation value more intangible things that aren’t easily measured like work-life balance, fulfillment and purpose in work.

It’s a clash of the generations that value tangible things like money, houses, cars and one that values time, experiences, personal online image. Thoughts?
