70-year-old fired after 50 years, no farewell: 'Don't deserve loyalty'

• A Reddit user shared that his manager, in his early 70s, was fired after 50 years of service without severance or a farewell.
• The manager was highly respected, mentored colleagues, and helped many advance their careers, including the Redditor.
• The company was acquired by a multinational firm, leading to layoffs in December where some received severance.
• The manager was put on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) in February, allegedly for quality issues not directly related to his daily work.
• Employees suspect the PIP was a tactic to avoid paying severance, highlighting a perceived lack of corporate loyalty.
