Thank you shows our appreciation and conveys our gratitude. But more than that, it is a sign of respect to the person who has helped you (or given you something).

This is particularly key when organizations grow or change. It helps employees build a sense of security in their value to the company, motivating them to continue great work.

Is thank you very much rude?

Neither is wrong and hence neither ‘more correct’. Both are equally useful, as is just plain “Thank you”, “Thanks”, “Many thanks”, and other variations. I do agree with @JohnPeyton that “Thank you very much” is a little more formal, and “Thank you so much” is less formal.

In simple terms, recognition is about what people do; appreciation is about who they are. This distinction matters because recognition and appreciation are given for different reasons.

Is Thanks a ton correct?

In American English, thanks a ton is atypical in written form. I have heard it spoken, not too often though. As others said, thanks a lot, or thanks a million, or thanks a bunch or even thanks much would be spoken and understood more often. Any of those would be informal but not slang usage in written American English.
