10 years service not acknowledged

I've worked for the same company for 10 years - on either 2nd or 3rd of November. Gone into work today and nothing. How petty some of you may think, but considering another employee got recognition for 5 years service not too long ago with a nice bunch of flowers and chocs aibu to not feel slightly miffed?

I’ve never had any recognition of time served in any of my jobs. Surely that’s not a thing until you retire?

Not everyone does but as I stated above someone did not so long ago. Obviously not a chosen one.

Same as pp, this isn’t a thing at my work place, other than when someone retires after 30 years etc… perhaps there was another reason for the five year acknowledgment?
