I'm probably taking the internet too seriously again but Reddit's tales of fancy are always hard to believe because of the overindulgence of the OPs. Two huge red flags in his story: 1) His efficiency was never questioned. If one employee is taking almost all of the bonus pool, I'd want to know what they're doing different so their peers could benefit. And 2) His boss firing him on the spot. While Dutch law does allow immediate dismissal, it has to be for very good reason like stealing or fraud. Otherwise they need a permit or need to go to court.[0] OP's program wasn't so clear-cut because he was only benefiting off bonuses which were awarded for accuracy anyway. Ignoring that, why would his boss fire him on the spot instead of discussing a program with big benefits like that, especially since it doesn't hurt the boss. Reddit loves to eat up these kinds of stories because it plays to their STEM egos, anti-authoritarian principles, and concept of justice. Nevertheless, interesting stories in the replies to the stories. Thanks for sharing.
