Celebrating work anniversaries can be a special occasion for employees, often accompanied by tokens of appreciation, bonuses, or modest celebrations. These gestures play a crucial role in making employees feel valued while contributing to a positive work atmosphere.
Recently, Marcos Alonso, an Apple employee working as a Human Interface designer, marked his remarkable 10-year work anniversary and took to social media to reveal the extraordinary gift he received from its CEO, Tim Cook.
Alonso's gift was a solid metal memento, meticulously crafted from what appeared to be aluminium, featuring chamfered edges and a gleaming Apple logo at its heart. This unique keepsake proudly displayed the employee's name and the date he completed his decade of service, all accompanied by the number "10" signifying the milestone. Even the packaging of the gift resembled that of a genuine Apple device, adding to its distinctive charm. This exclusive Apple product also included a heartfelt message from CEO Tim Cook.
A video created by YouTuber DongleBookPro delved into the creation process of this exceptional item. According to the video's information, remnants from the production process were collected and repurposed to form a 100% recycled, custom alloy. This alloy underwent a series of transformations, from being cast into lengthy ingots to being sliced into blocks and meticulously machined to their final form. The block's surface underwent fine blasting, and its edges were masterfully diamond-cut.
Subsequently, the block was anodized to preserve its finish and establish a protective layer, with a stainless steel Apple logo adorning the centre.
Since Marcos Alonso shared his experience, his post has been viewed by over half a million people and received six thousand likes. Many users engaged with his post, sharing their thoughts and stories. One user made a playful comment, saying the memento could be the "toughest Apple product to get." Another user shared a personal story, mentioning they left Apple just two months before completing 10 years of service and missing out on the 10-year plaque. They also noted that they still cherish their 5-year plaque with Steve Jobs' signature.
