Longjohn ★ Posted November 20, 2018 Share #9 Posted November 20, 2018 When I retired my foreman got an e-mail to ask John what kind of watch he would like. I asked my foreman what my choices were and he said he didn’t know. I told him Rolex. The next day he got another e-mail saying very funny, a wrist watch or a pocket watch? They gave me a Citizen gold watch. It doesn’t have as many functions as a Casio but it’s ok. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted November 20, 2018 Share #10 Posted November 20, 2018 I never understood why companies give watches as retirement gifts. Isn't that the point of retirement - it doesn't matter what time it is? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted November 20, 2018 Share #11 Posted November 20, 2018 Very cool. The longest I stayed with one firm was 12 years. After that it was 2, 2, 5, 1, 7, 1 years and now 8 months. Change has been the one constant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that the point of retirement - it doesn't matter what time it is? That’s what I told them. They said I can wear it at my funeral, I’ll look spiffy wearing a gold watch in the casket. The wristband broke on my el-cheapo watch so I have been wearing the gold watch for everyday. I still look at my phone if I want to know what time it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only had 28 years on the job I retired from. Lots of other careers before that one. A friend of mine got hired there right out of high school. He is still plugging away but can’t do the heavy work anymore, his body is worn out. He is ten years younger than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
