No plaque here. Retired July first. Are you talking Management?
For management they probably take them to the best restaurant in town, open bar, order whatever you want, a Rolex, a kilo of cocaine, strippers, and whores, the whole works.
When I retire I'll throw the party money no object. What's a couple grand amongst friends. Pocket change.
When I throw a retirement party, no one from UPS will be invited ... period.
Nothing personal but a retirement party to me will be about a new beginning (which will not include UPS).
I always thought the retirement party was to motivate the employees still working more than thanking the employee leaving.

I disagree. I want to rub it in. Might be different in the driver ranks. Working in a small Center, I'll invite everyone plus friends and family.
Retirees here, whether mgt or hourly, are given a nice party. The retiree receives a plaque, the spouse receives flowers and they put out a nice spread.
