OP is a goddamn liar and is trying to spread misinformation. Notice how there are TWO staples but only ONE mint??? Nice try OP, but we all see through your poor facade and know you’re actually a two mint-having bitch elitist!
When the pizza party is too expensive, you go with the EncourageMint

Reminds me of getting a note from HR admonishing me to pick out my 20th work anniversary “gift” from “pages 12 to 16” of the supplied catalogue. I knew nothing of it. They concluded with “or we’ll choose for you, i.e. a clock”. I got luggage tags. For 20 years of my life. The best years of my life. Luggage tags. FML.

Attention all Hudsucker employees. Attention all Hudsucker employees. We regretfully announce that at thirty seconds after the hour of noon, Hudsucker time, Waring Hudsucker, Founder, President, and Chairman of the Board of Hudsucker Industries, merged with the infinite. To mark this occasion of corporate loss, we ask that all employees observe a moment of silent contemplation. [moment of silence] Thank you for your kind attention. This moment has been duly-noted on your time cards and will be deducted from your pay. That is all.
PixxlMan@lemmy.world 7 months ago
There will be a $20 gift fee and an additional service and shipping fee. How much would you like to tip? 12, 16 or 20%?

Every month my boss tells us how big a profit we’re making. I think he thinks it’s morale building. I’m guessing everyone thinks the same thing I do- “then I should be paid better.” My Macbook Air, which I never took anywhere, was dying. I needed a new Mac for work. I suggested a Mac mini. They cost like $500. And I had to literally wait until my Macbook wouldn’t stay on for more than 20 minutes for them to pony up the $500. God I hate it. I’m on FMLA right now though, which gives me time to look elsewhere.

Why mac?
Dra@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
Why would you even ask this question, its clear they use them already…
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Because that’s the ecosystem we use for the designers where I work, I hate Windows and there is no way I would convince the IT guy to run Linux. I would have to run the Adobe software through a VM anyway and I couldn’t run our own software.
Spellinbee@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I used to do a lot work with the owner of my old company’s financial advisor. One time, he was sitting there complaining to me about how the owner had to pay like 1.5 million in income taxes that year. I’m like, bruh, cry me a fucking river.

When I was at Costco, for Member Service Week they literally gave us a rock, like from the gravel outside the office, with the note: “You rock!”

That sucks. Costco is usually decent to their employees. Feel free to make and shame the dumbass who thought that was a good idea.

I don’t know man, my sister in law just got made redundant while she and her family were on holiday. They rang her out of the blue while she was abroad to tell her. Who the fuck thinks that’s a good idea?! “Oh hey, you have no job now and just 4 weeks severance. But lemme ruin the last holiday you be able to afford for a long while by telling you now when there absolutely nothing you can do but worry about it”. Someone made that decision instead of waiting just 48 hours. Fuckers.

I assumed this was a nursing sub until I looked closer. Hospital management only does horrid shit like this for staff.

Love that the staple pierces the mint’s wrapper, essentially contaminating it and rendering it potentially unsafe to eat. So you don’t even get that, lol.
Time to find new employMINT.

The corner is missing from the package, but slightly to the left the corner can be found underneath another staple.

I mean it seems outrageously greedy, but stop and think about it: if they’d paid for a pizza party, the banner would’ve had to read “Thanks for driving sales and beating plan by $5,999,727!!” And that’s just ugly.

scarabic@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I kind of don’t care what company / industry / whatever this was. If you surpassed sales targets by $6 million dollars, you have some cash for decent gifts. Hell a six pack of beer would be something… don’t print me out a goddamn insult. At the same time, knowing how sales compensation usually works, these folks probably got hella paid, weak gifts aside.
WiseThat@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
No, you don’t understand, that profit is for shareholders and executives. They were the ones that bravely cut lunch breaks and asked the staff to work harder, and they deserve the fruits of the staff’s labour.
All the employees did was produce 100% of the value, but that’s just theor job. Can’t go setting any precedents by rewarding them.

I had to go back and look after your comment and it made me realize that the mint is already open and they stapled the torn off piece of the wrapper to it too.
Vorticity@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I kept thinking “surely this was attached to something else and they didn’t just give a mint and a few stupid jokes”. Then I noticed another one of these stuck to a locker in the background. What pieces of trash. You don’t show appreciation by saying “You are appreciated”. You show appreciation by compensating your employees for their work.

Way back before Scott Adams went completely off the deep end I had a tin of Dilbert branded mints called Encourage Mints. This is literally a joke from the hackiest office comic ever yet some manager(s) still thought it was good idea. WTF does business school teach?
jplate8@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Company making millions due to its workers efforts, while rewarding them with practically nothing? Sounds like business school is teaching capitalism perfectly.
