'He's being paid "too much"': Horrified worker shares how company wants to fire valuable veteran worker to cut costs
It's unfortunate when loyalty isn't repaid in kind, especially in a long-standing relationship where built-up mutual trust and reciprocation should have meant a better result. Sure, circumstances change, and it might "just be business," but there's always a personal aspect involved when a relationship has lasted this long.
Plus, treating your long-standing employees well is just good business. If you're seriously thinking about firing your oldest employee unceremoniously just to save a few dollars… What are the rest of your employees going to think? The chances are that you can kiss team morale goodbye and that your lack of displayed loyalty is going to set a precedent going forward… Talk about saving a dollar and losing a fortune.
This worker shared how their company was talking about firing the veteran worker who had been responsible for the smooth operation of their warehouse over the last 20 years. The company wanted the worker to take the veteran worker's place, expecting them to be happy with the opportunity. Instead, horrified, the worker took to this popular online community to share their story and ask members of the community for advice.
