Worker saves company $500k, is rewarded with a $25 gift card: 'Probably got taxed on it too'

Gift-giving is an underrated skill. Even if it's not your "love language" per se, you should get good at giving gifts. Because they're important to people. They're an important mode of communication in our society, whether we like it or not. You should know when to bring a host gift and what it should be. You should be an active listener to your friends and thus be able to give thoughtful gifts to them. And if you're an employer (and this is the most important one), you should know how to thank your employees for their accomplishments. 

And you should know that cash is always the most appreciated form of gift in a work setting. You should also realize that your gifts should be in proportion to their contribution. Let's say that they saved you a massive amount of money. Don't you think they should be entitled to at least a little bit of it? Unfortunately, that's not how capitalism really churns. All of the profits go to the top, and it doesn't usually trickle down. But that doesn't mean we can't complain about it.
