This past January was my 20yr anniversary with my current employer. He tells his friends and customers that I have been with him for over 20yrs, yet when my anniversary date came and went, I did not even an "thank you". It is now December, and I am still upset about it. Time to leave?

Everything was great for 20 years until your boss didn’t say thank you or celebrate the anniversary?

The money is the thank you!

Did you get paid for each of the years you worked? I’ve been at places that recognize work anniversaries but at the same time not sure I would get upset about not having it. And if you didn’t get anything for 5, 10, or 15 years not sure why you thought 20 would be any different.

Are you getting fairly compensated? Are you happy with your role? If so, I'd just let it go. If it makes you feel any better, my Big 4 firm did nothing for me making it to 20 years. For that matter, they didn't even acknowledge my making it to 20 years as a partner, which is supposed to be a big deal.

Well yea they are laughing at your for accepting 1-3% raises for 20 years when market rate for your replacement is well over 100% of your current salary

This is your boss? CFO or ceo?

Sounds like the author is something prefers acknowledgment (which is completely fair) or is upset that the CEO is using their years of service for their own self-service purpose without any actual appreciation to the author (again completely fair). To the point of this group’s responses, is that enough to leave or are there other reasons to jump?

If you are feeling this way, it is likely due to an accumulation of small things over the years. I am doubting that it is ONLY because you were not acknowledged at the 20 year mark. If you do not feel valued, you can search for a new company who will value you, and even pay you more. That's my two cents. I'm 58 and have worked with enough environments and people to have a point of comparison. I have been highly valued at some companies and treated that way at all times. Other companies (current one included) do no value me at all (which is why I am searching for a new role). Trust your gut on this. If your gut is feeling sick about these things, it is telling you something.

Sitting in the airport in Nashville. Whole lotta drinking going on. This town, like so many others can get raucous. Anyways, it’s late (10:30 flight) and I go to the coffee counter and ask for a black coffee, no room for cream. It’s like a secret handshake. Yes…I am, Said with just a small vague smile. No charge. Have a good night she says. I will, thanks. Grateful for one more day into this 2,948 day, 13 hour, 33 minute journey.

A few months ago I interviewed for a trading position. I recently received the job offer and the title doesn’t match the job description I applied for (it doesn’t have the word “trader”), though they insist that job responsibilities haven’t changed. Additionally, variable comp is very low % target and not based on individual performance. Any advice on what to do??

Does anyone have a switch?
