Apparently food service appreciation day is a thing. What does corporate send to all the stores to show their “appreciation”? Some crap cookies they probably got for free from a vender. You couldn’t just hand everyone a couple dollars, some new pens, perhaps a tshirt that you always complain I don’t have because you only gave me one? What is that not in the budget?

I work for a local pizza chain. Multiple people from corporate went to New York to sample pizza this past year. Multiple managers just a month ago got taken out to a vineyard in California where the wine we carry comes from. They have quarterly company wide manager get togethers where they’ll go out to lunch or go to a bar arcade. We have company branded this and company branded that.

Why go to any effort at all for a made up day most of us probably haven’t even heard of. The fact that they made it a thing and then dropped a bag of shit on the table is supposed to make me think you appreciate us? Next time if you wanna spit in my face just tell me and I’ll keep my mouth and eyes open for you.

The ink on the paper probably costs this company more than the cookies themselves.

Sorry chefs. I’ve had a bad day and this is cathartic for me.

    One of the things that made me unpopular at the upscale retirement home i EC’d at during Covid was making “pizza party” a verb.

    As in, “when you’re asking people to work 60 hours a week for $14 an hour while they risk their lives, you’re not gonna ‘pizza party’ your way out of answering what’s in it for them.” In a meeting with the director present.

    They wanted a real chef and got one lol…they were completely taken aback by anybody who had no time or patience for politics and bullshit platitudes like this.

    Almost makes it an insult to just give out this shit. Love coming here to remember why I don’t fight the fight you guys do anymore. My sales gig isn’t always great, but I support a family and got two catered meals, dinner at Cattleman’s, and a $150 grocery card this year. Fuck their cookies, steal a hotel pan.

    Omg you too running on one tshirt? I washed mine in the shower yesterday before my third 10 hours shift in a row (came home at 1 am and I couldn’t do the laundry so late, also I was too tired for anything but showing myself basically with the tshirt on)

    Good luck, brother!

    The equivalent of leaving a dollar for a tip.

    During nurses week we got 2 teabags. We were told it’s because we were heroes and to remind us to relax and have a cup of tea. It also said it was important for us to share and encourage others to relax by giving them our other teabag.

    I shit you not. 2 Lipton teabags.

    Holy shit dude. Our “Employee Appreciation Day” celebration was a raffle. They gave tickets to all the staff. I won nothing, some won food. That’s it, free apps or dessert.

    I think I would’ve felt more appreciate if they did nothing at all. That losing ticket made me feel like a real winner lol…
