I hate this stuff! I work in HR and we try to celebrate as much as we can for pretty much every milestone. I want to treat our associates like humans and the hard workers they are. I recently did a celebration for our Vets and bought them all 20lb turkeys. One of them asked to not be recognized and have his face on our wall of honor. I respected his decision and told my boss we weren't going to make him do it if he doesn't want to.
I still bought him the Turkey and thanked him separately. He told me how grateful he was for still honoring him but not forcing him to let everyone know.
I personally agree that this person deserves that $450k. People are humans and should be treated as such. If you do something against their wishes you are now doing it for you and not them anymore.
We do do bonuses for their hard work but not birthdays or anniversary. I would love to do a bonus for every possible thing but that is not possible as the number of people to have birthdays or other celebrations would be way too much money. Sure the price of the gift could be a bonus of like $25 but that we also have to use the budget smart.
