Honoring 40-Year Employee - Mike Boock
Wahpeton, North Dakota, Dec 1st, 2012
On December 1st, 1972, Mr. Mike Boock accepted a new job offer. Forty years later at the 2012 WCCO Belting Holiday Social in Wahpeton, which was held on the same date Boock originally started working with the Shorma family businesses, he received a special thank you for his decades of dedication and hard work from the Shorma family... a fully-restored 1972 Corvette.
All of the employees attending the party, including Boock who is the current Shipping and Receiving Manager of Shorma-owned WCCO Belting in Wahpeton, were led to believe that a small program and comical "roast" were the special events of the evening. Yet WCCO President Thomas Shorma (speaker on video), whose father started the business in 1954, had a surprise in store. As the program was concluding, he gave Boock one last gift box to open in front of over two hundred family, friends, and coworkers. The anticipation in the room quickly thickened as Boock, with a look of question on his face, pulled out a small model car and car key. At that moment, two other Shorma siblings in attendance opened the back doors of the Wahpeton Eagles Club, a rumbling engine was heard, and driven into the room was a fully-restored 1972 Corvette that matched the model and key in Boock's hand.
This will not be the end of the story for WCCO's now infamous employee recognition. WCCO has numerous employees who have chosen to make WCCO their career, and many have spent over twenty and thirty years working with Shorma businesses. As President Tom Shorma said, "If someone is willing to dedicate forty years of his or her life to our family business, this is the least we can do."

And that ladies and gentlemen is how you treat employees that dedicate their lives to their business. Hats off to WCCO Belting
Many businesses and companies can learn from this that is if they care appreciate their employees but most don't at all but their are a few that do like this businesses seen some other business has done companies do something like this because without awesome employees that keeping there business going with out them they don't have a business or costermers to buy there products to stay in business tc stay safe

@@willsummers1245 sorry to hear that most companies don't care about their employees hopefully u can find a better job where you are appreciated gl tc staysafe
It's nice when a company recognizes their employees and doesn't treat them as numbers.
steve var it doesn't happen a lot, this is a great company that did this for man
Manager of shipping and receiving is what the video said. That is not an executive position.
He stuck around for 40 years... Manager... if you were at ONE JOB for 40 years I'd hope you could work your way up to that level...
Hello! Mike is the Shipping and Receiving Manager. The business is still owned and managed by the Second Generation of the family.
Seller Skeptic he was a "regular" employee at one time. It's called advancement
Most companies try to find a way to get rid of 40 year employees because a new employee is cheaper. This act speaks volumes about the owners, and it's rare.
brooks wade
A lot of smaller companies have someone waiting in line ( within 9 months of hiring you) to take your job for a lower wage & less benefits.
They're just waiting for an excuse to get rid of you.
Quinton McHale That's true. It's not just big companies. It's nice to see a company that appreciates its employees. It's too rare these days.
In our reality Most Employers act like they care but only care about the Dollars. If I had been working for this company and they did this I would tell everyone How proud I was to work for a human being
Absolutely!
LOL that's not true in the slightest
Outstanding employee, outstanding company.
You said it all
Great way to recognize a great employee!
What's more beautiful than the Corvette is knowing just how much people love you and value your hard work.
I thought it was just going to be a plain old vette. This is something special.
This, you just don't see anymore. 1) an awesome gift from your own company, and 2) somebody being at the job for 40 years. Kudos to WCCO. Other companies need to take note here.
camarokidd75 what on world makes a guy stand with the single company for a decades? of course the company itself!
If an employee ever gave my business 40 years of their life I would do something like this too
cocoadog1998 that would be employee/family! 40 years is hella dedication
Can I work for you please? Lol.
Now that’s how you honor a 40 year employee. Kudos WCCO!
Thats a really great gift, outstanding.
This company respects this man seriously after 40 years.
But this man gave 40 years of his life for this company.
They are really happy wich each other great.
Oh my word!! Congratulations! My husband recently retired from a 40-year job. He was very loyal. This is a big, well known company. They just don't appreciate their employees like they should. This is wonderful!
it is nice to see a company appreciate their employees
I don't even know what the company does, but I'd support any company that treats their team members, who have proven their commitment, like this. Bravo.
That's how you're supposed to treat your employees!!! Beautiful!!
My Father is just like the Owner of this company when it comes to appreciating and realizing how blessed he is to have employees that have stuck by from day one.
It's so nice to see other employers who act the same as my Dad
Nice to see, we had a guy leave here after 50 years and all he got was a handshake. Sad.
I retired from the post office in 2013 after 31 years. Not a thank you, a handshake, pat on the back, nothing. I used to think getting a gold watch was the norm, I would have liked to have at least gotten a card. Anything would have been nice, but at least I'm done being stressed out.
Kelton Mahan and alive, is good.
Kelton Mahan sorry to hear about that. But I'd like to thank you and tell you that I appreciate the 31years of your service you provided to all of us. 👏🏼👏🏼
Kelton Mahan you kick ass. I thank you.
Kelton Mahan That's a shame! People just don't realize the commitment it takes to devote yourself to staying in one place for so long! I for one always struggled with being in the same place too long but I admire people who can dedicate themselves like that! Let me be the one to say thanks for getting the mail through no matter what! There are very many in our great country that still communicate this way! Enjoy your retirement!
You're the reason why my mail is always late Lol; Just joking if anyone hasn't told you yet then thank you for your service. Wish you all the best of luck and success in your life.
I love this, that they gave back to an employee!! :>
Katie T Hi !
So sweet of them awwww
This is a very good employer that really takes the time to reward its workers
This Is What You Call A Great Company Who Truly Respects and Appreciates Their Employees ♡
I'm moved to tears. WCCO is a company that shows their appreciation for their hard working employees. Good job, Mike !
It's so nice to see a company that shows their employees that they are appreciated.
Honoring my employees is going to be a staple of my newly formed business.
I'm retiring at the end of May after 32 years and I'll be lucky to get a hand shake...Nice to work for a place who REALLY appreciates an employee...Hell a free lunch would be nice...
Being a leader is not the same as being a manager or being "in charge". Mike is a leader and a good team member. His employer understands that nobody wants to feel unappreciated and everyone wants to be on a winning team. They appear to place great emphasis on communication, which is vital in describing and maintaining a shared vision and goal to work toward. I would like to work for an organization with such accurate insight.
It's very few companies that are as much of a family as your personal family. Beautiful....
Great employer, they understand that motivated & loyal employees are key to growing & expanding successful companies.
Now that's how a company should treat a dedicated employee. Great Video!!
What a wonderful gesture to show appreciation to a dedicated employee. love this
It's nice to see a company show appreciation take care of there employees they are like family not just a number
Somebody I know pretty much runs the operations for a smaller type of business. Her boss relies on her heavily since she runs the company. He gave her a 500K house for her to keep as an early retirement gift. And more recently spent tens of thousands for her big birthday. She's been running his company for many years and is still doing it.
They didn't say it, but I bet this man never missed a day of work in 40 years, never late. Awesome gift back to him for 40 years.
i feel like quiting my job and go work for this company
more companies should be this good to their employees
Wow what a nice car! Good for him! Good of the company to recognize him
well deserved ...enjoy it !!
Nice to see a company recognize their employees as a person not a number awesome company
That’s an amazing example of not only gratitude by the company but equity earned by that long tenured employee. If more companies treated and acted like this America would be a much better place.
Congratulations to WCCO. This was a magnificent gesture and should be an example to other employers to show meaningful appreciation to loyal employees. Happy retirement, Mike.
So I'm 22 years old and I've been at my company for about three years now. This made me cry. The look on his face was just beautiful.
Just because my manager was gone for a couple weeks due to family emergency. So I was tasked with all the work that he normally does on my own. On Thursday the company owner walks up to as I'm grabbing the product to ship out and gives me a hug and tells me how much of a hard worker I am and appreciates me and gave me a raise. (It's not even review time) I cried honestly. I have never felt so appreciated by any boss. This just goes to show if you are worth your salt pay a good man or woman will stand by you. Anyways Mike I hope to be like you and take a step back and see what I've helped build.
Good for them, its great to see a company respect a guy that dedicated his life to them no matter what the level!!
My Dad worked for Eaton Corp. For 30 years before he retired. Started in 1975 as maintenance coordinator at their research and development headquarters in southfield Michigan.
My Dad already had a 59 corvette so Eaton sent him and my step mom on a 2 week cruise all expenses paid to the Caribbean all first class accommodations.
Most humbling presentation of gratitude for a service to a devout employee... brought tears to my eyes..
So awesome, this is what a company should be like.
40 years obviously a exceptional employee he deserves it
What a fabulous company! The owner is a legend!
Really nice gesture from a company to a dedicated employee 👍👍👍👍👍
Also, no doubt the Corvette is a collectors item that will appreciate every year in value. May end up being worth more than his 401k
Thats the kind of employee treatment I want to continue and ensure in the family business. Absolutely spot on.
You never, ever can beat the the drive, love, quality and determination of the Midwest!
now that is very nice and I'm sure he deserved it, great gift!
Must be great to have a 40 year employer recognize your true value. Thumbs up and good guys do finish first.
Mike
Totally outstanding to see another company like this during ones retirement. I am retiring in two days after long years of retirement and was also like Mike being "on top of the world" with the outcome of a key , title, and new registration number sticker in a envelope to my new boat. My boss has blown me away and I love his family to death. Though retiring in 2 days, he will always have me if ever needed to fill in temporarily. Mike is the second person I ever seen with this blessed opportunity with his new Corvette, I wish him all the very best that life has to offer , great job and best wishes to you and your family.
that's the way it should be. Props to that company. My dad worked 30 years in a factory until they laid him off and all he got was a kick out the door.
Congrats to Mike Boock on 40 years of dedication! A truly inspiring video!
WHAT A GREAT FAMILY COMPANY
My third dream car! He is sooooo lucky!!!!!
Awesome!!!!! All companies that have been with them SHOULD get something great for that dedicated employee!!!!! Bless u ALL!!!
Excellent surprise for 40 years service. What an inspirational video and company!
Boy Boy millions of company’s out there could learn a lot from this company and it’s ethics 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
what a beautiful video. what a great company. congrats MIke. I will have 40 years with my company in a few months and I am sure I will be getting a kick in the ass.
Now that's a company you want to work for!
How can there be dislikes this is beautiful I knew a old fellow that spent 50 years as a boiler attend and with a company I once worked for an when he retired all he got was a handshake
WOW. That was a good one. Goes without saying that’s a rare move these days. Congrats all around. Great video.
👍👍👍👍👍well done! both to employee and owners!
This is a beautiful gesture!
Awesome. Just great!
Those are the kinds of companies people WANT to work for! Congrats on 40 years of service! 🙏
What a company it says they value thier workers and the company recieves thier respect by the work they do for them and thier years of service to the company.
America has so many wonderful people like that good to see that sense of family and shared pride
Treat your employees well and they will treat your customers well.
Whoever down thumbed this needs to be smacked upside the head. This was an awesome video
Blue Angel the ones that thumb down didn't received nothing from the company they work for, they were only force to work more hours 😂🖒.
Morgan Nathan Buddy some places don't have black people at all, I don't think we should be forcing people to move places because of skin color..... that's absurd.
Blue Angel I would imagine the people who thumbed it down were a bit pissed off that it turned into a commercial for the company rather than them just showing them giving the "gift".
Last year for chrome front bumper. Beautiful.
Thats the kind of Company you could only hope to work for. Most companies today dont care a bit about you , if you have a health problem they look for ways to get rid of you instead of standing by you. Great video
What a great company. For them remembering the people that have helped them get to where they are today. Not many bosses look after people these days. I hope this company continues to grow they deserve it. Watching from Australia 🇦🇺 thanks for sharing.
Based. You keep treating employees like this, and realize they are devoting their life to your company, you will not lose.
Not just a corporate executive money grab, this is how to do it! The dedication and experience of these employees can't be bought nor taught, it has to be earned.
That’s the way to run a business! Showing gratitude for dedication and service and most of all, loyalty. Well done you! Wonderful video! Congratulations from the 🇬🇧!
After as almost many years, the company i helped build, laid me off 5 days before christmas. WCCO is thankful for their employees. Great job!!!
Very kind gesture! More companies should be like this, especially when it comes to recognizing truly kind and valuable employees! WCCO execs, you all rock!
This is great! I had worked at a printing company who had an employee retire after 35 years of service. They didn't get him anything but we, as co-workers, gathered money and got him a very nice watch to commemorate the special occasion.
Very cool to show a man you appreciate his loyalty and his dedication to a company. That was very nice!!!!!
the number ONE asset of any company is the PEOPLE! Bravo! WCCO!
Remember that choosing a company to work for and being loyal to that company for a long period of time will be noticed. I’m fortunate to work for a great family company and I’m going to dedicate a long portion of my life doing the best that I can do for them with the hope of retiring comfortably.
There are employers that respect dedication in their employees.
One of a kind Company! Wish them the best!
This is what a good company does for dedicated employees. The look of gratitude on Mikes face was so moving. He really appreciated the car. Wow what a great gift for hard work. Congrats on the car bud you have earned it.
That kind of thing right there is what ensures that you keep employees for the long term treat them like family
Jeez. This is what 40 years of dedicated service deserves…. Is someone cutting onions next to me? There must be something in my eye….
I guess I need to see if WCCO sells something I want, because I will be buying it from them, because of this video.
Best of luck to all the WCCO employee’s. Clearly they are doing it right.
What a humble, hard working, nice guy
Warms my heart to see this!
Outstanding Company with overwhelming gratitude for an employee and employees that's just awesome.
I certainly enjoyed this video and I hope that almost 4 years later Mike is still driving the Vette.
And kudos to WCCO Belting for showing your 40 year employee and the world that you care about your people.
Most excellent.
Congratulations to Mike Boock. 40 years of employment is truly inspiring.
Mike is still driving his car! In the North Dakota summer months at least :) He'll be celebrating 45 years with us in December.
Very cool.
This is the kind of stuff that keeps companies going, great job wcca belting!
My hat's off to this company !! For recognizing their employees !
It’s good to see there’s a company out there that realizes without good employees they wouldn’t have a company
good on that company! companies like this are few and far between. Nice to see a dedicated employee recognized and rewarded for a lifetime of service.
You earned it. Congrats.
WTG WCCO Belting for recognizing your employees hard work and dedication. That is a rare thing these days. Enjoy the Stingray Mike.
