This story is about someone we shall call Will. Will worked for this company for 30 years. A quite guy always did is job never missed a day and never complained. Suddenly Will is gone and doesn't reappear for several months. He returns briefly to retire, Will has terminal cancer.
Company has a “retirement party” but instead of pizza they order BBQ since it's a special occasion. Most ppl attend including upper management many of whom started in the early years with Will. As the half hr “party” wraps up because it's actually lunch break and everyone must return to work the ultimate finale happens. Will is presented with a gift from the company for all his his years of service as he prepares to die.
Will receives his 100.00 gift card to Best Buy. Will dies two months later and his service info was never even posted on the community billboard well because that's only for deaths of corporate employees it's seemed.
Take care of yourself and your families first guys.
