You kept the mug. I want to know why.

Somewhere in your house is a company gift you've moved three times. I want that thing. More importantly, I want to know why you still have it.

The Museum of Corporate Loyalty collects the things companies handed us instead of raises, and the stories behind them. The five-year pin in a box bigger than the pin. The crystal thing nobody can explain. The holiday card signed by a CEO you met once.

I'm Sheila. I was laid off at 53 after thirty years in tech, and apparently I can still get custody of everybody's company mugs.

Send it in with its story. It gets a placard, and you get to stop dusting around their version of events.
