‘A Christmas card with signatures of the management team. It was Walmart … why the hell do they think the associates would want a picture of the management team? We didn’t even want to see the managers when we were working.’

‘Management had fucked up and their “solution” was to mandate 90+ hour weeks from everyone for several months. We were told that management will “make it right”. They announce that the president and CEO is coming to personally thank us and give us a “generous” bonus.
The day comes and sure enough, the guy rolls up in his $300k Mercedes, flaps his gobhole for a bit then has his assistant hand out envelopes with our bonus. The generous bonus? A $25 gift card to wal mart.’

‘My 5 year service award was a cheap plastic travel mug with the org logo on it.
It’s the same one we give out for free at events. They put it in a paper bag and filled it up with fancy coloured paper. The bag was worth more than the mug.
There was a clear plastic garbage bin outside the venue where we had the event. I tossed it in that as I left. Everyone leaving the venue would have seen it, including the management.’

‘I worked throughout the pandemic, coming into contact with people from all over the globe. I’m not allowed to say specifically what my job was but it was in the public sector
After the pandemic ended, we were each given a sachet of porridge as a bonus, lucky us.’

‘They mailed us a package to show us how much they appreciated us. It included a pen that never worked, a speaker that requires an aux cable and a branded hat from a sponsor…the next day, they announced everyone is being let go.’

‘Way back in the 90’s, the company that I was working for hit $1 million in revenue. They gave us all a gift to celebrate. I got a post-it note dispenser that said “Million Dollar Club”. I think I was making $7.65 an hour.’

‘Worked for an electrical tape manufacturer. Imperfect/garbage rolls were there by the ton. For Christmas we were allowed to take home some red and green tape (defects) while clocking out.’
