    I’m having my 15 years jubilee at work this year.

    Some colleagues are at 40 before retiring.

      Your employer is having a party in celebration of your time with them? Am I reading that correctly?

        Mmh no, they give 0,5 month of salary or 11 days off for 15 years, 1 month or 22 days off for 20 years (repeatable every 5 years).

        But no party or stuff like that. Jubilee is just the strict traduction of “Jubilé” in French, it’s not a celebration with Gary Barlow composing music from the commonwealth (source: Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II)

          Right on! Thank you for the clarification! That sounds much better than a work party, in my opinion. In the US, the term is often meant as a “fancy” way to say party, usually over several days.
