Company gifts longest tenured employee a watch and a $50 restaurant gift card to thank him for his 50 years of service: ‘The only bonus he’s ever gotten’

Suppose an employee devotes their life to a company and spends every single weekday, 9 AM to 5 PM, for 50 years at said company. In that case, you'd think that management would recognize the employee's unwavering loyalty and belief in the company's mission. Some readers might insist that said employee is simply doing their job and should be paid accordingly without extra bonuses or benefits, but I'd have to disagree with them. A 50-year tenure is quite a long time….

In the story below, an employee is gifted a snazzy watch and a $50 gift card to a restaurant in town for his 50 years of service to the company. It's important to note that within those 50 years, his hourly wage only increased by $22. With the cost of living skyrocketing, combined with the 50-year stint the employee has, you'd think the company would cough up a few extra bucks to say "thanks". Did I mention this employee has never received a bonus aside from this instance? Scroll to read.
