    The value of this party is $45 per person and will be added to your paycheck as taxable income.

      Got an email like that a few weeks ago about a benefit I hadn’t even received and then a retraction email about 30 minutes later. Motherfuckers can’t even actually give me something without talking about taking money out of my pocket anymore.

      Not really, all hands are “correct”, 4 fingers and a thumb. Many look weird for sure, and it’s surely AI, but it’s not at all the usual mutated nightmare hands.

      Gonna have to fight for that last slice with sausage!

      like idk if ppl really enjoy sausage that much or it’s just the perceived added value of a second topping that makes it more desirable

    The last company I worked for had an $80k shortfall at the end of 2022 and tasked my department with making up the difference. When my supervisor dropped that news on us with only 2 months to go, I joked “can we get a pizza party if we achieve this?!” and she honestly said to “that’s a good idea!” I should have quite that day. That company who is named after the word integrity, had none. Our department head was the biggest piece of shit I’ve ever had the displeasure of interacting with. Dude used his religion and family as a shield to be racist and condescending. Never again.

      At my last job, they had a fajita truck come in. I don’t like smoked meat and I don’t like bell peppers, so I didn’t eat any. When my bosses saw I wasn’t having any, I told them why and they just gave me a ‘too bad’ look and moved on with their day.

      Every single order in the company went through me, but since I didn’t like what food they were serving (I wasn’t even told until the food truck showed up) I didn’t even get that “bonus.”

        My previous employer made a big deal of “togetherness” and regularly catered in lunches in an attempt to lure people back into the office post-pandemic… and that’s fine as far as it goes, but we had several folks with dietary restrictions and it was a constant struggle to get the admin staff to remember that they needed to order meals that accommodated everybody. I didn’t feel a whole lot of togetherness when I had to repeatedly order in my own lunch on days that lunch was supposed to be provided, because the admin “forgot” about my dairy intolerance and just ordered pizzas.

    I work for a medical company in our area. Not all parties are like this. I didn’t partake but a lot of my coworkers went to the bar after the fact.

    I used to work for a cell phone retailer (larger one) our company party got wild every year I was there.

      You do realize this post has nothing to do with the party, right? It has everything to do with the workers not being given their fair share of the profits they generated. No one gives a shit how wild the company parties are. “Fuck you, pay me!” is the point.
