We have a retirement pool at my job where when someone retires, everyone in the pool donates them an hour of pay.

Not enough to live off of for the rest of your life, but it's a nice little bonus. I think we're at like 95% participation, too.

That's kind of cool. Although with the turn over rate of how long most people stay at jobs these days I am shocked not more people have the jaded mentality of "why should I do this if I'll never benefit from it myself". Pretty cool that everyone just does the better thing for others.
