Absolutely Fair Response
It was actually me, I still have no idea what I was thinking. The owners of the company all showed up for a company meeting, and gave this 30minute long speech about how much they value our work and they wanted to reward us. They started handing out checks, i open it up and see $2,000.
Now, I dont make a ton of money and I was having health issues and been to the ER a few times in the last few months. So this money would literally save me. Everyones is all excited and very surprised our management who were known to be penny pinches that didnt care at all about employees would do this.
Then I see it. The checks were all dated for for 2 years from now. They said if we stayed with the company with no write ups and never miss a day of work we could cash those checks in 2 years.
I just lost it… I walked up the front of the presentation, held my check up, ripped it into shreds, and said “This is some serious bull” and threw the shreds at the owners.
Surprisingly I wasnt fired. Probably because I am the highest producing employee in the company. or maybe they realized toying with people like that really wasnt a good idea. Who knows. Story credit: Reddit / Jesta23
