133. Lunch out with the boss, and all employees, once

in a 45 year history of employment from 17 onward.

The bank I worked for in college, where I pointed out a $12,000 against our favor mistake of my college graduate supervisor got my transferred to another division. I was rewarded with a dinner with the big guys once that year, because I had saved the bank $12,000 when average annual salaries were about there.

I got 3 turkeys the 3 years I was there, on Thanksgiving, nothing at Christmas but the 2% annual raise, (when banks nationally were making 6% profits a year). The small local bank, now part of BoA, had a special deal with a turkey farmer or two where they held mortgages on their turkey farm, and the bank had 50 employees, the turkey farm sold about 40,000 annual turkeys at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I bet the bank just forgave the late fees on the mortgages to get those turkeys.
