Is this one banana per employee? Or one banana and they have to fight over it?

[–] JizzmasterD@lemmy.ca 37 points 11 months ago

Probably some sort of banana split.

Banana Royale

It's a banana, how much could it cost?

[–] ForbiddenRoot@lemmy.ml 57 points 11 months ago

This is especially funny for me because here, in India, β€œgetting a banana” means you got nothing / got fscked over :)

Relevant story time:

One time, as a warehouse manager, I wanted to get the overnight shift some fruit to snack on during the shift. We had like 100 people there. So I drove to a grocery store at like 11PM and bought pretty much all of their fruit. The cashier was extremely confused. Also, I drove a mini Cooper so it was absolutely packed floor to ceiling with apples, oranges, bananas, and some other stuff.

I didn't want to carry it all in so I drove my car into the building at the start of the shift.

So my hundred or so employees show up to work then see me rolling into the building with a mini Cooper just bursting at the seams with fruit. It was a fun way to start the night for everyone.

"Crumbs (assorted)"

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 22 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Hey free banana is a free banana

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You have been promoted to junior assistant manager, acting.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Free banana and a promotion? Noice

What, does it actually cost money?

The Amazon campus has free banana vendors that anyone can just walk up and take a banana, even if you don't work there. They almost always had extras.

I used to walk past one on my way home and would snag one if there were any left for the day.

This "perk" is something Amazon literally threw away every day.

[–] mjhelto@lemm.ee 18 points 11 months ago

"Banana for scale" takes on a whole new meaning here.

What is this, some elementary school?

[–] Starkstruck@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

Literally treating their workers like trained monkeys

[–] Speiser0@feddit.de 12 points 11 months ago

Don't forget to bring a lawyer to the food court, if you want the banana that is.

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't particularly fancy the taste of bananas but I still eat them occasionally because I appreciate their nutritional value.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I wish that the Gros Michel variety of banana could be grown outside of select greenhouses. If you've ever had banana pudding, or artificial banana flavoring, you know what a Gros Michel tastes like. If you want to have a banana that tastes that good though, they are an average of $96 a bunch. Cavendish bananas may look nice, but they have no flavor. I personally don't care for them or Misi Lukis.

Available 9am until 7pm

That's quite a time span! Damn, your employer seems to appreciate your work very much! Get your banana, but there is no need to hurry. Just take your time and enjoy the anticipation

[–] Minarble@aussie.zone 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh so managment is allowed to offer them a banana, but when I do it it's ""sexual harassment"" or whatever. smh double standards

[–] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah a pension and benefits are great, but banana is banana.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Think outside the banana on this one.

One banana per slip and fall workmans comp claim.

They are really offering extra paid vacation time.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I hate bananas. So thanks a whole fucking lot, boss.

[–] registrert@lemmy.sambands.net 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If you don't like banana, you're free to pick any of the fruits listed.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What about a pack of 1989 Batman Movie trading cards?

[–] registrert@lemmy.sambands.net 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)
