After seven years with the company, a man receives a loving farewell gift from his company.
The video of this is going viral on TikTok.
Termination is always unpleasant.
However, if a person has worked for a company for seven years, one might assume that at least one nice parting gift should be expected upon termination of employment.
A TikTok user is now proving the opposite.
In a video he films his farewell present after seven years with the company - causing horror among other users on TikTok.
A young woman recently sparked enthusiasm on the platform with a brilliant tip for working from home.
TikTok user receives nothing more than a tea bag when saying goodbye to his company
His farewell gift is not flowers or a voucher.
Instead, he receives an organic herbal tea and a short note in scraggly writing on a Post-it note: “All the best for the rest of your life!” A farewell note could hardly be designed more lovingly.
The incident is reminiscent of the story of a man from the USA who was given a certificate and a barbecue to say goodbye to his company after more than 40 years with the company.
Over 600 comments have now accumulated under the video.
The vast majority of TikTok users are stunned.
One man writes: “Loyalty to the company doesn’t pay off.” Another says: “Then it’s better to do nothing than that. That seems like mockery.” A young woman even emphasizes: “I would have left it in the office!”

However, the man's loveless parting gift does not seem to be an isolated case.
Several TikTok users report similar actions on their part under the video.
“At least you got something.
“After six years I have only received a handshake,” writes one woman.
Another man reports: “For my 25th anniversary of service, I was presented with a floppy sunflower and a certificate in the hallway.”
