[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No offense, but my job doesn’t do anything for my anniversary at the job. I got a coin and a certificate for my 5 year anniversary. I am coming up on my 10 year anniversary and I bet I get the same thing. There is no bonus, no special gift. My job pays better then a Teachers but that was my choice. I don’t get an annual bonus, that is not a part of my compensation packet, which was also my choice.

People choose jobs with different pay packets. A bonus is a part of that packet. My brothers job has bonuses built into his pay packet. If he doesn’t hit his bonuses, then he should be rethinking his job.

I am not sure why people think Teachers should get a bonus, it is not a part of their pay package. Yes, it is nice, but if it is that important then it should be written into the contract.

Teacher appreciation week at our school is mainly different special meals, because the PTA knows that the Teachers don’t need or want the coffee mugs and water bottles. I know they ask for food allergies and requirements so that all the Teachers get food that they like. Winter Break and end of the year Room gifts include gift cards but none of that is a guarantee. Our parents and PTA do it because there is enough money to do it but that is not a guarantee. Not every school has families with the money to do that.

I get that Teaching is hard and getting harder but most Teachers know what their compensation package looks like. I think Teachers should be paid more but the idea that anniversary’s should be marked with a bonus or something that isn’t included in the contract is far fetched. [/quote]

I don’t think I should get a bonus or special recognition. I agree, I choose this profession and it wasn’t for the money. I was pointing out how we are treated like elementary students ourselves. I’d rather get nothing than a photocopied certificate like you would give a 7 year old. They want us to act professionally. Treat us as professionals.

I completely understand why my husband’s salary and bonuses are what they are. He makes money for people. I do not. [/quote]

The “job” I do today is not the same job I did when I entered the profession.[/quote]
