retiring

We had a guy at the shop a few years ago who had put his two weeks in as he was going to retire. He'd been there over 17yrs. The next day they walked him out!! Pissed a lot of people off to see that as the owner proclaims to be a family friendly company, blah blah.
Didn't even throw a party for the guy, but every time an office employee puts in their 2 week notice even if only worked a year, they let them finish and then throw a party at one of the local bar/restaurants. No kidding. Makes me sick.
