Sandwich shops are a super popular option for corporate catering, bosses will order a few platters to dull the pain of an all-hands meeting.

Still doesn't explain how you accidentally make 100 too many.

Hell, I think the big wigs where I work call meetings just so they can comp the lunch.

Not to bitch about free food -- free food is good food -- but I've noticed the workforce uses food as a bandaid to cover more glaring absences like pay and benefits.

I've worked in a small handful of different industries prior to settling in healthcare, and it was (and still is) a recurring pattern: the jobs that had the best fringe benefits had the worst actual benefits. I'm positive there are exceptions to this on both ends of the spectrum, but it does prompt the question: are you not getting shit because your corp compensates you well enough that they don't need to bother with fringe shit? Or are you not getting shit because they fall on that worst-of-both-worlds end of the spectrum?

If it's the latter, start updating that resume.

Way ahead of you. I've been reaching out everywhere lol

Well, fuck. You have my empathy - that's a shitty process, and by the sound of it, an even shittier status quo.

Keep your eyes on the prize, and good luck.
