Lanyards - no joke

I can understand some grumbling about the lanyards. It feels very out of sync with the value of many of the previous Platinum gifts. We got the blankets last time; whether or not you like the blanket itself, it's a higher value item than a lanyard.

 

I look at it like this -

 

Every year for Christmas I treat my staff to a nice lunch catered by an Italian bakery near us - lasagna, eggplant, cannelloni, grilled vegetables - stuff like that. If next Christmas I decided to bring in McDonalds cheeseburgers instead, I would expect some grumbling. Yes it's a free lunch and they should be "grateful" for it - however, it would be very out of sync with expectations that I've set with previous lunches.

 

Same with Carnival. They handed out Bluetooth speakers, tervis tumblers, blankets, backpacks....now it's a lanyard. It feels like it's no where near the same level of gift.

 

 

I agree and I like McDonald's...
