There's no way this is real - nobody would be that stupid, even in a management role, right?

When I was at Costco, for Member Service Week they literally gave us a rock, like from the gravel outside the office, with the note: "You rock!"

Your resignation letter should have just said "Now I'm about to roll"

[–] ShadowCatEXE@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would rather not get anything than get a rock for recognizing my efforts.

[–] SwallowsDick@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's literally just effort, gotta throw it away lol

That sucks. Costco is usually decent to their employees. Feel free to make and shame the dumbass who thought that was a good idea.

You could always light the boss' garbage can on fire with a message saying "You're on fire!" Or a poo on their desk with a message saying "You're the shit!"

That may be true for warehouse employees, but the corporate offices are a toxic mess of shitty culture and dated ideas. I've never seen a tech department bleed so much underpaid talent to Amazon.

When I quit because they tried to force me back into the office mid-pandemic (August 2020) I had multiple offers for fully remote positions with twice the salary within a few weeks.

But yeah, if you are a cashier at a warehouse or whatever I hear it's a solid gig.

How many of those broke a window you think?

I’ve seen this kind of cheesy thing as party favors for company Christmas parties. It’s a thing, but it’s almost never the ONLY thing. It’s more likely someone in management saw it on Pinterest and had to incorporate somehow to seem like the fun boss. The. Did some other lousy stuff to make it not seem so bad.

Yeah, notice the top. This was taped to something.

[–] TheWhabba@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Looks like it was taped to their locker, you can make out one more in the background

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Was it taped to a $6 million dollar check?

I don’t know man, my sister in law just got made redundant while she and her family were on holiday. They rang her out of the blue while she was abroad to tell her. Who the fuck thinks that’s a good idea?! “Oh hey, you have no job now and just 4 weeks severance. But lemme ruin the last holiday you be able to afford for a long while by telling you now when there absolutely nothing you can do but worry about it”. Someone made that decision instead of waiting just 48 hours. Fuckers.

[–] SwallowsDick@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Isn't it better she know as soon as the decision is made?

You missed the opportunity to say "ManageMint"!
