Been at RM 23yrs now. Got exactly the same badge. Gave it them back and said no thanks. I always knew I meant nothing to RM so didn’t feel let down. After 20yrs you should know what RM think about you.

It's never really sat well with me,the whole "loyal" thing.
It's the same as the old "I work 20 hrs overtime a week for the business" thing.

We all do it for the money especially the overtime, some of us enjoy certain aspects of it more than others and take some pleasure out of the customer service side but at the end of the day staying with the company for 20 years isn't about loyalty, it's about the security that a decent wage brings.

I got £80 in Argos vouchers and a night out with senior management, I bought a coffee machine and didn't turn up for the piss up. Management couldn't have cared less.
