What kind of little "Thanks" does your hospital give, or are they too cheap?

My hospital turned from a non-profit to for-profit a couple of years ago. Since then it has been cost cut after cost cut. The latest thing to go was the 5 dollar Starbucks card that management would lay on someone after a great job or an especially hard day. Evidently administration considers a Starbucks card "reportable income." Now I've heard they're considering other options, like handing out page hilighters as a gesture of thanks. I already have about a million page highlighters.

So do you get any of the little things? Or are you just expected to work and go home?

We got breakfast on nurses' week. When the hospital was going for magnet status we actually got magnets. I still think that's what went wrong with our computers.

Every once in awhile at my LTC facility, they have a free lunch or other food goodies for the day and evening shifts....

...Us night shifters get the pleasure of seeing the leftover, room temperature, picked over, fruit-fly attracting food on the tables in the break room and go eat our own bag lunches.
