unless it's a pink slip it's better than what I got for my 5th. I got a 2 minute 'sorry we gotta let you go, we mean NOW" warning.

Yeah but it was slim pickins... Door #1 | Door #2 (note 2 pages each)

I even showed the choices to my gf and she was ambivalent. So I just got the physically largest thing I could. :D

Apparently at Akamai the 5yr gift is an iPod. :| But obviously I don't work solely for a 5yr gift so I'm not any more happy or sad either way.

heh ebefore I read through the entire thread I knew it was Tiffanys by that damned blue/green box and white ribbon (note you can buy them online to fool the ladies).
I got a simialr box from old employer for an award thingy.... thanks now I have a hunk of $100 crystal trophy that sits in a box in my basement for the next 60yrs until I die and my kids find it and throw it away.

Actually, I've been 100% vested since 2yrs. Perhaps that's a remnant of the good ol' dot-com days though? :)

Unfortunately their match is weak, something like 50% of the first 6% contributed IIRC.

I'm quite happy with my GF's imagination as-is, thanks. ;)

What a letdown. :(
Hey look on the bright side--at least your eager anticipation lasted the length of this thread...

Mine, on the other hand, died weeks ago, within 30sec of receiving the congratulatory email with the URLs for the catalog. :thumbsdown:
