Workers rage over company's new parking benefits, which grant employees free parking only if they have worked there for 40 years: ‘What a joke’

Companies love to come up with new employee "benefits" that only prove to be complete and utter lies.

Imagine this: You get called into your boss's office, who has a smile on their face while they invite you to sit down. Then, your boss starts to go on and on about how much they appreciate you as an employee, and how happy they are with the work you've been doing all these years you have been working for the company. Then, the boss tells you that as a token of their appreciation, the company decided to grant you a pay raise of… a whopping $1040 a year!

Cue confused shock.

Anyone with a phone and a calculator can do the quick math and discover that $1040 a year amounts to 50 cents an hour, which anyone you ask would tell you is simply insulting to any hardworking employee. It's not even enough to fight the rise in living costs.

That was not the only insult the company in the story below was responsible for. They also decided to announce a new "parking benefit" that states that free parking would be granted to employees… but only for those who have been working for the company for at least 40 years. What a joke.

Learning of the insulting raise and the ridiculous parking benefits has caused one of the employees to go on a rant, which caused more employees to come forward and share similar stories. Keep scrolling to read it all.

Should an employee stay at a workplace that charges for parking or provide a 50-cent raise?
It's hard to tell whether someone should stay at a company like this or try their luck somewhere else. But at least they can complain for as much as they want…
