We have heard about marriage anniversaries celebration many times but have you heard about people celebrating their work anniversary on a grand scale? Well, yes or not. People during those times considered accomplishment as a huge thing and used to celebrate only their 50th, 60th, 70th, and 80th birthdays at a great level. So, will they also celebrate their marriage anniversaries only when they complete their 25th or 50th anniversaries on a huge scale?

However, work anniversaries are not really a fad in olden times. Because common people never thought of work as a form of celebration or passion in the olden times. In modern times, you might have seen people cut cakes or gift chocolates even for completing one year or five years at their workplace. It is because no achievement is big or small in the current times. Every achievement counts for something to make it big at the workplace.
How to say no to extra work at your workplace
Here are some ways in which you can celebrate your work anniversary, be it of any year.
1) Post it on social media platforms:
If you have completed a year at your new workplace, you can simply post it on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter among others on how delighted you feel to have got the opportunity to work wherever you are posted. You can also share the key lessons you learned from your job and how it is helping you to shape your career.
2) Think of cutting a cake with your colleagues?
Well more than you feeling happy to have achieved a year or two years or whatever number of years of service at the workplace, your office colleagues would be really happy to work with you. After all, your timely assistance and kind behavior have helped many of your colleagues to solve their real-life problems. And you should also be grateful to have your team members the way they are because their positive energies and enthusiasm help you to work more and give more to the company and society in general.
3) Thank your manager and boss:
As much as you want to feel good about your work anniversary, that much you need to express gratitude to your manager and boss as well. If you are in a junior or mid-level or senior position, you are wherever you are at the workplace because of your immediate seniors. Their timely guidance and inspiration to walk the talk make you become productive at the workplace and mentor others below you. So, you can simply drop them an email about how you feel about working with them.
4) Get some treats for your family members as well:
We usually think that a man or a woman has achieved success at the professional level only because of their hard work and genuine efforts. However, work anniversaries are achieved not just due to a single person’s efforts at the workplace. It is because there is a mother who wakes up early in the morning and cooks for her son or daughter, there is a sibling who helps in doing household chores so that you can spend more time at the workplace and achieve success. So, arrange a small party for your family members who take care of everything at the house when you are away from home due to work purposes.
