| 0:35.5 | Welcome to R slash Pro Revenge, where one employee single-handedly destroys an entire company. |
| 0:38.6 | Our next credit post is from weird stories here. A family friend was working at the same company between the ages of 26 to 64. Part of the problem was the |
| 0:45.0 | laws in the country increasing the retirement age from 62 to 65 when he was in his early to mid-50s, |
| 0:51.1 | and then again from 65 to 67 when he was about 62. The old owners were a family, |
| 0:57.3 | and they ran the business in a way that benefited the employees. From everything I've heard, |
| 1:02.4 | I think the owners were giving an extra vacation week every six years of the company. So on top of |

| 1:44.6 | effing ages. So it's often the case that they may take over two years to calculate what |
| 1:50.7 | to pay you and start paying you. For the period they delay and calculate, you're only getting |
| 1:55.5 | the bare minimum. But this guy already had 44 years of experience and a bit more ahead of him as an engineer, |
| 2:02.4 | and a well-paid one, which meant a great retirement amount. |
| 2:06.3 | So the company gets sold. |
| 2:08.2 | The new ownership takes over and starts removing the previous rules. |
