i just celebrated 25 years at my job . i mean did they reward your 25 years of service at your job by giving you a present or throwing you a party . it 's pretty common for workers when they reach such a milestone to be recognized in such a way . i got a cake in the conference room , but i was actually on vacation when they did it , bad planning on their part . otherwise just my normal paycheck . you should 've made them buy another cake ! maybe i will !
Lack of recognition or appreciation for long-term service or commitment.
