Company man going on 27 years on the job watched two coworkers going on 25 years get $25,000 bonuses: ‘All I got when I had 25 years was a plaque’

Imagine working at a company for 27 years and getting little-to-no acknowledgement of all 9855 days of hard work. Once you've put yourself in this company man's shoes, now imagine going to work one day and learning that two of your coworkers, who began working at the business after you did, are getting $25,000 bonuses for their contributions to the company.

It's hard not to want the same kind of treatment. After all, those coworkers were getting it for working at the business for 25 years, and this company man had been working there longer! When he brought up his grievances to the CEO, he wasn't met with understanding. In fact, he was met with denial and dismissiveness. That's when the author completely relinquished any sense of loyalty he may have once had for the company.
