That is like a Dickens villain. I didn't know they could be that tightfisted.

At our Christmas party this year, the head of our facility drew names out of a hat to have a go at grabbing cash in a money blower while the rest of us watched. Inside the blower among the lower dominated bills was one 100 dollar bill. When one of my coworkers was chosen, she just refused to go up because she was so tired from working back to back shifts several times that week and didn't want to humiliate herself by jumping around for money.

    get shot in your sleep for resisting arrest
    miraculously survive, but have tremendous medical bills
    it's okay, the insurance terms say they'll cover it
    they won't cover it anyway
    quit job and squat on some land and farm potatoes
    now you can at least pretend you grow thousands of dollars per square foot

    my job dangled a pizza party over us to increase sales and then decided a day of revenue was more important.

    My job recently sent me an email where I could choose my own christmas present from a short list of "approved" gifts. Unfortunately that turned out to be a phishing attack sent out by our IT-department, so my christmas bonus was literally just the holiday party that some staff threw last friday.

  • My place of work threw a potluck, where everyone had to bring their own food. The boss didn't even show up with like a fancy dish which would have at least been something.

    Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?

    Oh right. The exec who approved a budget of $100 for a whole hospital of gifts and patted themselves on the back for being generous.
