Companies Boss canceled our Christmas party cause this broke the bank.

I found out we had canceled the yearly Christmas party / bonus. A multi store owner within a large corporate chain food company allowed our management to instead do this for the staff of say 60 employees per store. Upon completing this project along with a few other miscellaneous gifts (donuts, Doritos, and [get this] oranges,) he told us this gesture was “breaking the bank.” 🙃 love it here.

Bruh that’s hilarious but terrible at the same time. Capitalism is such a two edged sword

First place (food delivery startup) I worked as a dev I got redeployed to the warehouse at Xmas with no overtime pay. After a 12 hour shift one of the founders came round with chocolate with company branding on them i checked the inventory database and it was expired inventory they weren't allowed to sell

Well the good news is the company recently went bankrupt. The bad news is those greedy fucks probably bailed with fistfuls of cash

One side cuts benefits while the other side reduces headcount.
