A large corporation such as they should offer something, because you have employees there who are there a long time — they're putting in years — and they're getting nothing to show (for it).

It was a great time, ... the employees there of course got them dressed up in the jackets and hats and ear plugs.

Of course, new employees are always nervous about taking action and whether they will have a job afterward.
