This is so asinine and an obvious employee dissatisfier that could it be they are doing it to push people over the top so they leave themselves? A lot less to pay in severance. I just can't imagine anyone making that decision on something that shouldn't cost the company that much. It's got to be strategic decision.

Nobody cares about a cheap Chinese made pin. It’s about the CEO pettiness to make a company wide communication about a $1 pin (two dozen/month.).
Imagine this — a useless trinket actually got reviewed, greenlit by a committee, and somehow made it into a company-wide email. The CEO even gave it a nod. If that’s not a masterclass in small-minded thinking at the SB level, I don’t know what is.
Everything Xerox does today is on the cheap!
No big deal .. Cheap pins look like they fell out of a Cr--ker Jack box..
@ey with lexmark coming there was only room for one piece of junk from china
It was an embarrassing insult anyway.
@jh I guess because it will soften the blow when you see the anniversaries page
@a7 if that's the case why even mention it.
Just a piece of junk made in China
NO PINS FOR YOU!!
@d7 no, sign of the end times.
Anniv. pins cancelled, was that your first sign that the company is finito? SMH
It's a cheap trinket that cost them almost nothing, yet they fled the need to announce it's ending. The fact they made the big announcement and when they made it is the telling part.
@an. Of course people don't care about the actual pins. It's just the fact that they can't even give the "gesture" to employees. Complete lack of care and respect for people.
Those things I keep throwing in the garbage? Nobody wants those, waste of money. Cold hard cash is the only reward necessary, everything else is pacification.
Do people really care about their anniversary pins? I have no idea what I did with any of mine, and I really don't care about them. I'd rather just have some cash.
Or are they doing as there wont be long termers anymore
