Well, buy your own. If you shop around, you can probably get a better deal along the streets of Hong Kong, Dubuque, New York or San Francisco. Maybe it s the principal of the thing. You worked for it, you earned it, and you re entitled to a watch. So you think.
Companies have a different perspective.
You worked and earned a salary of which you re entitled exchanging service for salary. The longer your tenure with a company, the bigger your severance. And depending on your tenure you can upgrade from a Timex to a Rollex. It s your choice. Personally, I d rather take the money and run.
