New Owners Refused To Provide An Important Employee A Leave Of Absence, Ended Up Paying Millions For Their Mistake

Running a company comes with great responsibility. As the owner, you have to take care of the business, customers, and, most importantly, your employees. Keeping your employees happy and motivated is crucial for the success of your company. Offering incentives like paid vacations, trips, and monetary rewards shows your appreciation and helps employees perform at their best.

In a recent story shared by Reddit user u/Rusticwhiskey, we hear about a co-worker who had been with the company for over 40 years. When new owners took over, they started taking away the benefits that the previous owner had provided, including vacations. All employees were told to use up their vacation time by the end of the year, as it wouldn't carry over or be paid out. One senior co-worker decided to follow the company's instructions in a way that ended up costing the company millions.
