A £3 tesco gift card. Seriously. Just saw a tesco employee complaining about it on reddit.
That’s somehow even more insulting than nothing
one time at a job I had I got a green underripe banana and one of those styrofoam dollar cup ramen as a one-off “thank you” - because the management from another section dumped their ‘thank you’ gifts on our section after they ran out of people to give shit to but were too stingy and “egalitarian” to toss the rest at some random fuckers, so we got a shitty unedible banana and a shitty ramen cup for the first actual “gift” in literal years of service of “Your paycheck is your gift” schtick. Immediately got told we couldn’t eat it on the job and told to get back to work. Everyone threw it away in the trash in front of their office on the way out. very enthusiastically.
honestly kind of a waste of a banana, but fuck, would you walk around for a whole shift with a banana in your pants pocket?
there’s not a single job i’ve had where carrying a banana in my pocket for more than 5 minutes would result in anything besides mashed banana smeared through the entirety of my pocket
even if it was a firm green banana? Like it’d be like trying to bite into a raw potato and is less appetizing than a raw potato?
i’m very clumsy, okay
Don’t spend it all in one place, poor!
this is actually offensive. how does a manager look one of their employees in the eye and hand them that shit?
My boss at one of my first jobs. Pulled that shit. We were a franchise of a big chain so we would all go to one he didn’t own to spend them lol get fucked.
last year we got a £5 gift card and a tin of biscuits that i’m pretty sure my gm paid out of his own pocket
Let them eat digestives!
They will use some variant of:
We bought X at 3 apiece that’s a lot of money!
Tesco projected to see record shrinkage
You can buy, what? A case of soda with that?
It’s enough for 2/3 of a tub of hummus.
Damn I’m getting a full catered lunch
But… lmao it’s olive garden
