My hospital once have us all savemart gift cards and the value was reflected in our paychecks. My gift card was empty when I went to use it...
Isn't that freaking wage theft?!?
Yes.
I can get that potato at Wendy's for less than the tax on $15.
And it will be bigger and likely taste better than this fuckin thing.
Yeah. This sounds like some creative financial bullshit.
This $15 potato will likely be taxed at 22% federally, so those taxes alone will be $3.30, which is probably more than the actual material cost of the potato.
At my last job, each Thanksgiving they'd give everyone a turkey sandwich from some catering company. It came with a little ketchup cup sized thing of potato salad,babs a pickle. you could opt for a veggie alternative. They would charge you 20 dollars for this on your next check.
The highest paid employee made 8.75.
I opted out.
I’m so happy I don’t work in healthcare anymore, our bonus used to be a a frozen turkey. My bonus this year was a flat $1,000 after the tax was taken out.
Did the same thing and never looked back. Getting what my mother got as a nurse after 30 years in less than 4 years in IT is insane.
Is hospital in Latvia?
Hey, it could be worse... My company got me nothing! Ten years in a row!
The potato is actually worse. They're paying far more than the value of the potato in taxes, as it's considered a gift.
I'd rather have nothing than pay some else's taxes for a gift I didn't want that is way over-valued.
But did you have to pay taxes on your nothing?
I would gladly accept nothing over this any day of the week.
And you’re self-employed?
Yeh, I got a tax bill though. So that's nice I guess.
Whoever in the UK thought it would be a good idea to do the income tax payment over Xmas and January needs a slap in the face.
My hospital bought us pizza. Yesterday. On my day off.
Obviously this is pretty bad, but anything coming via Shitter (X) at this point should be ignored.
everytime i see screenshots posted here it feels like we're all feeding trolls, and we should stop.
What a half baked idea.
