Does your company hold an employee appreciation week? My department did for a few years until we had a lot of restructuring happen at the new year. I fully expected that to be the first thing to go, but turns out it was just delayed this year. My team got nice fuzzy blankets in the mail from our manager this week. It’s not a make or break, but definitely a bonus.

Just finished one. And I was really sad about how it was handled. They had a great event. But I would say over 1/2 of the department didn’t attend because work still had to happen. It was kinda great to network - but I still had to do 6 hours of work after all the event stuff was done.

And all they gave was points that you could get a stove or a blanket or something.

I remember a few years ago, everyone got like $50 to spend on a company sponsored apparel. (You know those prices are inflated)

I don’t know if I would sign up again.

There was some kind of employee day a few months back and we all got a $15 Dunkin' Donuts gift card. I didn't even know it was happening, so it was a nice little surprise. Nothing groundbreaking, but I like little gestures like that.

Yeah we do. One day it was free coffee + pastry from the coffee shop in our lobby, another day it was chickfila, one day it was “free snacks” but they were put out earlier than the advertised time and not announced, very few people got any. One day it was a free “breakfast” at like 9:30 AM so a lot of people skipped breakfast to hold out but it turned out to be sandwiches and wraps and potato chips which was kinda weird.
We’ll always be happy to take free food, but I don’t think anyone really felt like they were great shows of appreciation.

They don't hold a hole week, but they do have an employee appreciation day. They honestly didn't do much for us though. We each got a sweatshirt and a pat on the back basically.

I’d honestly hate receiving a company branded sweatshirt. I’d prefer the standard lame pizza party.
