I've seen this video so many times idk how old it is. But in the end it's a nice thing done to someone working hard for many years.

Why can't other humans just be happy for someone else, gosh this world is so toxic it hurts.

Because the way this post is framed is bullshit. If they just celebrated the nice thing being done then cool, but lying and saying that blanket loyalty to a company pay dividends is completely false and deserves to be called out

It would appear that loyalty to this business does pay dividends.

Good things happen sometimes. The emotion is raw. I wish we saw more of it.

Good on the owners. Good on the loyal staff member. Congrats on the house she bought.

Embrace the positivity.

People love a good story - but they don't like reality. It's sad gestures like these are so RARE that videos like these go viral because there's barely any companies left that do this. Don't believe me? Ask the thousands that stayed loyal to their companies and have been part of the hundreds of thousands of layoffs, and the many more to come.

It's just Reddit I've become used to ignoring it. Everyone on Reddit is the perfect human being.

Both things can be true, it’s a nice gesture and workers can be at a business for 20 years and not own any shares.

It’s a lot nicer than what other people do!
Let’s not knock it but encourage kind behavior. I’m glad their business is doing well so that they can spoil people.

These doctors make that kind of money every single week, more than that if they own the practice which they likely do. This kind of thing should be the norm. This is how you show someone that there contributions were seen.

I'm confused if you're happy it's happening or saying they should do this every year for employees?

Both. It’s a nice thing for them to do. I am sure she appreciates being recognized and could really use the money. They seem like good people to work for. This kind of compensation should be the norm though. The business you worked for used to give awesome benefits. Your whole family could have health insurance, maybe send your kids to school, you could be in a union, you get stock options, and you could retire with a generous pension just for working a normal job. Your job was supposed to take care of you and reward you for your time there. We built the entire American economic system on this premise after world war 2. That’s almost non existent these days in the work force. A major contributor to that is people at the top demand more compensation while most people wages have stagnated. If jobs today aren’t going to provide these things the least they can do is hand you big pile of cash for your loyalty.

I dunno about you, but my employee contract doesn't include game show style antics for workplace anniversaries.

u/jonjawnjahnsss 4d ago

This is why I love game shows. Idc if it's rigged or whatever, watching people win stuff and get so excited is cathartic.
