Mekanik Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 It's April Fools day again. For me that means that it is my anniversary of being a professional tech. I started in the business on April 1st, 1993. What a good day to start a new career. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/fouet3.gif I'm currently celebrating this important milestone by doing a EGR cooler in a diesel that someone else already replaced the headgaskets in. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbup.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Congratulations! They say such milestones are rate for technicians and people in the automotive business in general. I don't think its a s rare as it's made out to be though. Every year my company takes out a one page ad in the local newspapers at Christmas time thanking it's employees and lists the 5,10,15,20 & 25 year anniversaries. They also give out gold pins for every five years of service and a Rolex watch for 20 years of service. I like my watch! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif I think recognition and activities that bring everyone together in a non-business atmosphere help create a better work environment. Unfortunately the economy has reduced such activities in recent years. We no longer have a Holiday party or summer picnic or service dinners. What do your companies do for employee recognition?
