    25 years = $25,000 bonus... but not for me So we recently had a company meeting where our CEO announced that 2 employees that have been working for 25 years will be receiving a $25,000 bonus..

    But I've been working here 27 years and all I got when I had 25 years was a plaque. I brought this up to the CEO and she said that "we weren't doing the $25,000 when you hit 25 years." One of the people who received that bonus check today has been working here 26 years.

    I know my worth. I know that without me, this company would not be working. I take shorter lunches to help customers, and I've been working here the longest. I don't want to beg for money, but my god, that $25k would help me and my family out so much.

    I want to meet with the CEO and discuss this in person. How should I approach this??

    TLDR: They just announced employees that have worked 25 yrs get a $25k bonus, I've been working 27 and didn't get anything. What do I do??

    jdb888 12 hr. ago If the CEO is meeting you to discuss you are halfway there. Just frame it as a bringing a mistake to his attention that it not corrected will devastate morale and lead to an exodus of top talent and experience to the competition. 1.2k Reply Share

    . MrNothingmann · 5 hr. ago What a poorly designed bonus system. Anyone who is there 25+ years and didn't receive such a bonus should have been considered. If the CEO announced this, how could they not expect all of the >25 year team to ask about their bonus? Your CEO sounds like a real Michael Scott. In real life, Michael Scotts aren't funny.

    WeMissJeff -5 hr. ago Only here to say stop taking shorter lunches. I know you think you're "helping" by doing that, by in some states it's a labor law thing that requires you take a certain length of time for your lunch. It all depends on state and length of shift and a few other factors. But, bottom line... stop.

    UnusualDoctor 3 hr. ago I used to be you. My former employer told me this when I brought up the 70+ hour weeks I was putting in to keep things running: "I never asked you to do that"

    So I stopped doing anything. I started looking for another job right away. I did the absolute miminum. I told my staff do to the absolute minimum. I left about five months later to a different industry, slightly more money and zero stress. I suggest you do the same.
