'Loyalty goes both ways': Employee spends thousands of dollars of company's money as payback for getting passed over for a promotion she waited 25 years for

The differences between loyalty to a workplace with older and younger generations always boggle the mind. The fact that many people over the age of 50 have happily committed to the same workplace for decades, sometimes without so much as a raise, is crazy, especially when younger people have such a short attention span they often can't commit to finishing a 2-hour long movie.

My mom, for example, has just celebrated her 30th anniversary with the company she works for, and I had 3 different jobs in the past 3 years. But, my mom never would have stayed there if she wasn't truly appreciated and if her bosses didn't make her time there worthwhile, which is why I am surprised by what happened to the employee in this Reddit story. She waited 25 years for a promotion in the company she worked for, and got passed over by a young employee with no experience. Luckily, she decided to show the company that loyalty goes both ways and found clever ways to spend company money as payback for the mistreatment.
