What I'm Worth

I recently found out what I am worth to one of my employers through two separate incidents.  I am approaching a milestone of working several years for my employer.  They reward continued dedication to the company with a gift.  You are provided a website to go to and a range of gifts to select.  At first I was estatic.  Then I decided to see who much the items were actually worth.  $50.  That's what 5 years of dedication is worth.  I have missed less time from this job in the past 5 years than some people who have been hired within the last 6 months.  But it's ok.  It's nice to know what I am worth.
