What a load of crap. A cheap anniversary certificate made from Microsoft Paint and some Hallmark words isn’t going make me happy. Depending on where you are in your career, employees want money, promise for job security and advancement, and benefits (vacation, health care, 401K). Not a certificate and a cheap clock with instructions written in EXTREMELY poor English. These little things are meaningless and just a cheap way to try to make you feel like you’re appreciated. Crap.

Still… Can’t help but feel slightly warm and fuzzy inside…
