'This was how they thanked me': IT employee saves company from fines amounting to millions, they reward him with a $20 voucher

One IT employee resolved a huge financial issue for their company that left unchecked, would have resulted in fines amounting to millions. You would think that the employee would get rewarded, but remember, this is corporate we're talking about… Nobody ever gets rewarded for being a good worker. If anything, it's quite the opposite. Continue being a good little bolt in the machine, and you'll get some pizza. Gee, thanks, boss.

People often blabber on about how 'Nobody wants to work these days', but when you take a step back and take a look at the big picture, you realize fairly quickly WHY nobody wants to 'work these days'. High turnover rates, low salaries, inflation, bad bosses, and ridiculous corporate rules all increase the chances your employees will feel unmotivated. Learn to treat your employees right, and maybe they'll want to do a good job.

Scroll down for the infuriating series of events, and then for more funny work stories, check out this employee whose boss demanded they bring back their 'lab coat', despite it being a muddy pile of ashes following a fire. Like I said, bosses are the best.
