They can summon pizzas out of thin air but can't summon a raise...

Its usually middle management trying to keep morale up amongst their peers. Its the upper management that have all the control. Unfortunately, upper management treats middle management just as garbage as all the lower level people, in my experience.

You can go grab pizza on your break!

When can I have my break?

Well we're busy today so I'll clock you out for it but I need you to keep working

My work place used to give us food and snacks for free... now they only give finance shit for free. I literally fucking hate finance people, they are the biggest waste of money.. i swear to god if you got rid of 3/4 of all finance teams in the world nothing would fucking happen. Give me my tasty Tuesdays back you sacks of shit

It's always those shit rectangle slices too.
And even if everyone takes lunch/breaks at the same time it was delivered hours ago.

I've been on the management side doing this, too. There's no way to coordinate the delivery. It's just not possible with our universes laws.

I used to work with a guy that as soon as a slice was in my mouth, he'd ask, "you good? Want any more?". Then he'd proceed to put all the remaining pizza in Ziploc bags and take them home.

He's an asshole

He's Bruce Lee, or perhaps his ghost.

I was never dead to start with.

Same here bro. Shitty disease to have.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I'm the only vegan at work, so management will try to facilitate that. But they can't remember which dietary restriction I have. Normally they think I'm diabetic. Last time there was pizza I got pointed to one corner and my CEO said "don't worry, we have some gluten free pizza right here." Champs.

God, we've all been at this table before, haven't we? This could be a screenshot from my eyes.
