Fifty years in the same place. The same uniform, the same counter, the same company. And 7-Eleven only sent him an email.
The employee shared the situation on social media, and the reaction was immediate. “He deserved a golden retirement, not a message that can be deleted with one click”, wrote one of the thousands who commented. But not everyone thinks the same: there are those who argue that in the digital age a formal recognition by email is enough, and that the responsibility for building a dignified retirement does not rest solely with the employer.
Who is right: the company that did the bare minimum or those who insist that half a century of loyalty deserves something more than a message in the inbox?
