While they say hard work pays off, that doesn’t always feel like it’s the case. For many, it can be difficult to work hard with little reward. Any good employer recognizes their worker’s efforts, and rewards them with a little extra, especially around the holidays.
On Christmas Day, the Twitter account @raphousetv2 shared how a young man in Florida received a generous gift from his employer: a 1968 Ford Falcon. The Twitter account posted a thread showing the man’s reactions to the gift.

The Twitter thread also shared a message from the manager (which is partially cut off in the image ). It discusses how the young man has worked for a tree service company in Florida for a couple of years, and would constantly work hard. The manager praised his employee’s positive attitude, which he brought to work with him every day. He bought the car by way of thanking him for all that he does.
The Thread Also Shared Video Footage Of The Young Man’s Reaction.
The first video shows the crew crowding around the man and manager. The manager then gives the man a set of car keys, before walking him over to the car.
The Second Video Shows The Man Testing His New Car Out.
The Falcon, a striking orange car with a tan interior, is in good condition. The young employee spends the second part of the video entering the car and trying it out, much to his own excitement.
The Twitter Thread Also Shows A Pic Of The Man Standing Proudly With His New Car.
What makes this an extra special gift is the fact that it’s the young man’s first-ever car.
The Internet Reacted To The Thread.
Everyone seemed happy for the man and impressed by how generous his employer is. Though, some wondered if it was too good to be true.
Many Pointed Out The Fact That This Was A Positive Story Featuring A ‘Florida Man.’
For years, “Florida Man” has been the b**t of internet humor. Many news articles featuring men from Florida also contain strange and outrageous headlines.
Twitter Users Were Also Amazed By The Car Itself.
To be gifted a vintage car that’s essentially a collector’s item is pretty impressive.
The Young Man’s Story Prompted Others To Share More Negative Ones.
There are far too many instances of employers giving their workers little to no bonus despite making a lot of money in the year, as users pointed out.
It Seems Like More Employers Need To Do More To Show How They Value Their Workers.
Most places won’t be giving out cars any time soon, but a small (but nice) bonus can go a long way.
