I’ve been with my job for 2.5 years and they just gave me a 2 year anniversary pin. Does your workplace do anything like this?

No, we don't do anything like that. I like that idea, it's kind of old school, I remember relatives of mine had tie pins that commemorated work anniversaries. Of course, that was when people would work for one company for decades.

It does seem old school, doesn’t it?

We celebrate milestones like this with team lunches or happy hours. Nothing official from the company, just all of us celebrating each other. Personally I'd be insulted if I got a pin from my clinic though, I'd rather have a raise!

Yeah the pin is kind of just another piece of trash/clutter in my opinion.

We do! We are a nonprofit, so old school works for us budget-wise. We also did new swag for our 50th. CHC has been incredibly flexible during hard personal times and treats people well, so the token gift is totally fine.

Not yearly, but on big milestones (5, 10, 20) our company sends out a card and a booklet with stuff we can order (ranging from necklaces, speakers, backpacks, etc.) They're never the best quality, and I've only had one gift in my 11 years actuall work, but it's the thought that counts?

Where I worked we had celebratory dinners for increments of 5 years. My first one was at the new Denver Bronco’s football stadium. The meal was out of this world great. Got a tour of the stadium, went down to field level, not on the field but the sidelines. It was amazing. For my 10 years we had a high end dinner in Denver again and awards given out. This included anyone over 30 years, didn’t gave to be a 5th year increment. It was amazing too. They made it fun for everybody. I was just shy of 15 years when we got laid off.

I have been with my current OB/GYN office for 4 years in March. They give us $200 for every month if that year we were with the office. Don't get me wrong, I am VERY thankful for this gift, but it doesn't change no matter how many years you have been there. Last year they gave it to is and post dated it for after the new year. The account was broke into and they said we had to wait for it. Most of us relying on that check to help with Xmas for our children. 😊😊 Hopefully this year will be different! Hehe Happy Holidays everyone ❤❤

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.
