Unique

Unique is an unique word.  There is no such thing as very unique or a little unique.  It simply means without equal or equivalent. 

I retired from an electric utility, where I sometime actually did some real work.  It was a nice place to work and the pay was sufficient to get along on.  Today, I became aware that this company is unique in the way it deals with it’s retirees.  The company, many years ago, helped retirees set up clubs and supported them with people to communicate the things that retirees need to know.  It is not unusual for a top executive to drive hours to talk to a group about current events within the company.  Just today, the club I attend, had the Chief Operations Officer speak.  And, we always have benefits representatives to update us on changes in coverage or procedures.

Try as I may, I can’t think of a single other company that has such clubs that are supported in the way this company does.

Over the years, the name of the company has changed, but the dedication to retirees has remained the same.  That’s unique in this world today.

It’s nice to be a part of unique.
