[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the past two weeks, I've attended retirement parties for two former colleagues. At both events, they received large, plain, wooden plaques with challenge coins and a generic inscription from their coworkers, which neither recipient seemed particularly excited about receiving. From my own experience, having received numerous plaques throughout my career, I can confirm that they have usually ended up in my attic collecting dust. Plaques are overdone, take up too much space, feel outdated--reminiscent of corporate culture from the 80s and uninspired. What are more meaningful alternatives?[/quote] At my employer, where we have many employees retiring, we generally buy them a steel bucket from the hardware store. On their last day it is presented to them and the team all gathers and says in unison “Now get out of here, and take your bucket with you!” Many laughs (and a few tears, too.)[/quote]
