Question. This is what I think SW excels at

Depends on size of the company as well as it's culture.

Some family run businesses might come from a close nit culture. Like some Italians are close.

I remember such a close Italian restaurant. The business was really close with family.

Yet on the other end the size of the business might do so for advertising purposes. Larger businesses need to advertise after all. And anniversaries actually are a good reason to advertise.

Often they might have a limited sale on such anniversaries.

Community involvement really is a good opportunity to advertise. The more involved a business is in the community the larger customer base they have.

Just the name recognition helps.

I've noticed a trend lately with super large companies not doing such celebrations.

The reason is they basically have a corner on the market. Therefore the name recognition really isn't important with them.

Who doesn't know about Walmart? 🤷🏻‍♂

Quite an accomplishment.... 25 years in business.... Taking that risk, stepping out... It should have been acknowledged, a dinner, card or gift... But also the friend should have made that expectation known, suggest to go for dinner and celebrate, acknowledged his accomplishment and celebrate together....

I would be put off too. This is something that should be recognized and celebrated by the partner of the person with the achievement, indeed.

I would think that a persons success is a joint effort. Each of our successes require some sacrifices from our partners. I would want my partner to be excited for me.

I would say no, it's not a thing. Most people's partner don't really know their coworkers, so it would sound like another "work thing."

If it's important to your friend then yes it's something his partner should care about and do something for them.

It is a partnership and it must be celebrated , that is my opinion.

25 years is a lot of hardwork and commitment.

I would be over the moon. Renting places, ordering food and calling people

If it were Me ,yeah..25 years ,man👊
