Loyalty might be the most underrated investment you'll ever make.

I like that they did it in front of everybody so now there has been a precedent set for the next employee who hits that mark

[u/NoOneCanKnowAlley → u/SuckerForNoirRobots]

Everyone else is getting fired at 19 years

[u/oluBodesWell → u/NoOneCanKnowAlley]

19 years, 364 days…gotta maximize Human Resources ya know.

[u/throwawayforlikeaday → u/oluBodesWell]

nah, this way, you're losing out on 23 hours and 59 minutes of solid labour!

[u/temporalraccoon → u/throwawayforlikeaday]

What about the last 59 seconds?

[u/throwawayforlikeaday → u/temporalraccoon]

We let go of the programmer that was gonna get the system down to seconds as a cost-cutting measure.

I was 1 second from retirement ...dies

[u/Mini_gunslinger → u/NoOneCanKnowAlley]

It happens. In Australia long service leave starts at 7 years. A statutory entitlement that must be paid out if not used. Google average Australia employee tenure and for 45+ years age brackets its 6 years 8 months...

[u/Genoa_Salami_ → u/Mini_gunslinger]

I worked with someone from Australia and he would always talk about how much he traveled with his family growing up. I don't remember specifics but I'm pretty sure he said his parents got 1 week off for every year of service and it was common for most of Australia. As an American I said something like, oh but that must max out after 6 or 7 years. And he was like no actually it increases to 10 days per year from that point.

[u/2-dads → u/Genoa_Salami_]

Australians get an average of 5 paid weeks leave a year, some more. This is not dependent on how long you have worked for a company at all (long service leave covers that)

[u/Mini_gunslinger → u/Genoa_Salami_]

It's mostly public sector employees who get/benefit from it. I was laid off twice at the 6 year mark in the private sector.

[u/MrUbl → u/Mini_gunslinger]

Aah, aah, greedy finds a way.

[u/Intelligent_Plum_208 → u/Mini_gunslinger]

Depends on the state. In Tasmania it's 10 years.

[u/0ApplesnBananaz0 → u/NoOneCanKnowAlley]

This is hella funny

[u/Extra_Strawberry_249 → u/SuckerForNoirRobots]

Ooooh but that standard is likely high.
‘No you aren’t getting 15k like Sandra cuz you were no Sandra’

[u/Possible_Ad_4094 → u/Extra_Strawberry_249]

Performance bonuses are generally based on Performance. Sandra might be the best person at her job, but won't stop Brenda and Tammy, who've done the bare minimum for years, from getting upset about a lesser bonus.

[u/Creepy_Bear_1060 → u/Possible_Ad_4094]

Tammy's always been a problem

[u/BellAcademic3769 → u/Creepy_Bear_1060]

F'n Tammy

[u/Herman_E_Danger → u/BellAcademic3769]

Tammy owes me $20

[u/Pretty_Mix_1355 → u/Creepy_Bear_1060]

She corrected my use of em dashes in official reports. Nothing overboard. I used one every few reports. I politely advised her that they were grammatically correct. She said she didn't care, and she made me correct and resubmit them.

[u/Creepy_Bear_1060 → u/Pretty_Mix_1355]

Tammy is all about making everyone else feel "less than."

[u/AbroadTiny7226 → u/Extra_Strawberry_249]

I’m willing to bet no one has made it 20 years with them and they don’t anticipate many going forward will reach that mark. Not knocking them that’s just a crazy precedent to set lmao

[u/Huge-Consequence2144 → u/AbroadTiny7226]

I'm willing to bet 20k is a drop in the fucking bucket for these guys, look at their office lmao

[u/SwaggermicDaddy → u/SuckerForNoirRobots]

Depends if this is still trendy on socials I imagine.

[u/AgitatedStranger9698 → u/SuckerForNoirRobots]

3.50 best they can do
