CEO gifts employees $25K after working for 25 years, coworker going on 27 years gets snubbed: 'I've been working here 27 years and all I got [...] was a plaque'

How can this employee not interpret this new bonus policy as a personal slight? This dude had been working at the company longer than literally everyone, but when he hit 25 years on the job, he only received a plaque. Now, two years have passed, and suddenly the CEO announces that two coworkers have just reached 25 years at the company and are each going to be rewarded with bonus packages of $25,000. Meanwhile, the other guy is still getting nothing more than his cheap plaque, which is probably collecting dust in the corner of his apartment. 

The employee shared his side of the story via this thread on Reddit, and folks in the comments section were quick to support him and his frustrations. It is personal, and if it wasn't, then the CEO is a fool. Keep scrolling below to see what other Redditors suggested the Redditor should do next.
