Thought I’d post this here because the whole concept makes me laugh. I work in the call center for a major furniture retailer and this week is “employee appreciation” week and march 1st is employee appreciation day. How do they show their appreciation? Well we have a spirit week where we can dress out of dress code (for those working in office). And today we are having an “event” at the HQ office. They are closing the call ques early and we have our department meeting then having the event from 4-6. It’s gonna have food and drinks (all things they can write off on taxes). Yet for those of us that work from home and don’t want to come in we get punished by having to work the last 2 hours on “offline tasks”. Then on March 1st they are encouraging people to send of badges on this point system we have called BRAVO, and mind you we have to pay taxes on their points too. Not even to give us points to spend on the crap in the store, just NFT looking badges. No bonuses, no raises, just food and drinks but only if you show up. This sums up corporate America so well these days lol. So I decided to show my appreciation of them by posting this on company time.
