I was literally telling someone this afternoon about my wife selling off my gear like she was running her own got damned thrift shop out of our garage. And, wouldn't you know after being on hiatus for over a month, I decided to come on here just this evening to see what has been going and this is the first alert I get in my notifications.
When you retire, maybe they will have a metal detector in the retirement catalog?
There's one now. Time to pull the plug.
They don't care here even when you still pay dues. Amazing organization.
Figures...work for the company for 25-40 years busting your balls, breaking your back, crippling yourself, and you get to pick one of the S*ttiest defectors on the market. I'd rather spend the $3500 on a great detector and have my wife sell the thing off. Much less painful that way!

So if I work here 75 years I get a air compressor????
If they still have a retirement catalog then. Not much of a selection at all, most of the stuff looks like something from an overstock surplus store. $100-175 value to the stuff. I remember when they gave riding lawnmowers and Remington 870 12-gauge shotguns. One final letdown from the company.
They used to give fantastic prizes for years of service, safe driving and for retirement
Or a S. hitty metal detector
I didn’t even want a frozen turkey. When I retired I told them I didn’t want anything and don’t even mention I’m retiring. I walked out of that place after 39+ yrs without even a mention that I was leaving. Just send me a monthly check and they can shove the rest up their
. They crap on guys for years and the guys complain for years and then come retirement day they stand there and let them say some meaningless words over them and accept some trinkets. Sorry not me.
I have the Dewalt Miter Saw and Delta Drill Press too. I use the saw a lot but have never used the drill press.
That's were you register
Congratulations buddy. I would sooner taking apologies later then a gift from these evil friend*
Like that’s gonna happen! I needed one so what the Hell, it saved me a hundred bucks. I did run into one of my old supervisors last night at a restaurant and enjoyed her company. Very attractive woman I party with sometimes.
. I’ve had people ask me what UPS did for me after 39+ yrs? When I told them what I “turned down“ they look at me in disbelief. One guy said to me that would be like being a waiter and busting your butt on a large table and then they leave you a penny tip 
. I guess you could look at that penny as a penny you didn’t have but I would rather make a statement and tell them you must need it more than I do so “stick it up yours”
I can overlook a lot of things that happened during my career here but last year was unforgivable.
