On March 1, I got an e-mail acknowledging my 30th anniversary with the company. I was hired on Feb 28, 1990. Since Feb 28 was a Sunday, it made sense I got the (likely automated) message about my anniversary. [Edit: a few days later I remembered it was Feb 26.]
Today, I got three e-mails, a phone call and an in-person congratulations for my service. These were all from management-type people whom I hardly know. The phone call came when I had stepped away from my desk for a minute, and it was from the VP of HR. He's so high up I've never even seen him. And I had a short video call with my boss.
Since My hire date was Feb 28, I was surprised to hear today was the day. I thought they were off by 17 days. Later, I realized that it was actually 31 years since I was hired.
As it stands, I was gone from the company for about a year, back in 1999. I was downsized. I got a new job, but after a year I was looking for work, and my old boss was hiring, so I went back. So when they calculated my thirty years, did they remove that year?
Strange.
