'I saved my company $1 Million': Overworked employee flabbergasted when they get 'rewarded' by their boss with a pathetic gift

What does it mean when your company says that you're a 'family'? It means that they're looking for hard workers willing to slave away for cheap because they're morally obligated to help out their fellow family members, which is why, in the working world, blood only runs so deep.

The overworked employee in our next story learned quickly how shallow his loyalties were with his company after spending a year working hard to score a bonus. Long nights, early phone calls, client meetings, and going above and beyond proved to be entirely futile for the original poster (OP), even though he was able to save the company $1 Million. Apparently, $1M of savings is worth the most pathetic employee bonus in existence.

Scroll for the entire story, and OP's inevitable wakeup call, that changed the course of a working man's career path forever.

After this, here's another wild tale from the workplace where an employee gets payback on an ignorant boss by deleting a vital Excel sheet (per her request)–chaos ensues.
