    OP is a goddamn liar and is trying to spread misinformation. Notice how there are TWO staples but only ONE mint??? Nice try OP, but we all see through your poor facade and know you’re actually a two mint-having bitch elitist!

    One of my SOs supervisors actually gave gold stars for good work. These were full grown adults, with children/mortgages/cars and, they thought, professional careers. She had worked there over 30 years when this happened.

    Moral was quite affected by this “genius idea”!

    This is like in the UK when everyone clapped for the NHS workers during the COVID pandemic, including the PM and other government ministers.

    But when said workers ask for a pay rise? Fuck off

    Thanks for making our shareholders money! Remember not to call in sick or ask for a raise and that unions take your money with no benefit!

    I mean it seems outrageously greedy, but stop and think about it: if they’d paid for a pizza party, the banner would’ve had to read “Thanks for driving sales and beating plan by $5,999,727!!” And that’s just ugly.

    Every month my boss tells us how big a profit we’re making. I think he thinks it’s morale building. I’m guessing everyone thinks the same thing I do- “then I should be paid better.” My Macbook Air, which I never took anywhere, was dying. I needed a new Mac for work. I suggested a Mac mini. They cost like $500. And I had to literally wait until my Macbook wouldn’t stay on for more than 20 minutes for them to pony up the $500. God I hate it. I’m on FMLA right now though, which gives me time to look elsewhere.

          At the risk of being downvoted, these are the kind of responses I am getting absolutely sick of seeing. Someone just asked “why mac?” And your response is basically “are you dense or stupid?” And they get downvoted while you add nothing but an insult.

          People seem to forget that not everyone knows everything, had the same upbringing, or the same experiences.

          Everything I read says a lot of the younger generation just knows windows has the biggest OS market share for computers but they don’t even know how to navigate it because they grew up on android, ios, and chrome os so maybe that’s why they are asking why, because they have no idea what benefits a Mac OS machine would have over a Windows OS machine.

          I mean hell, I know so many people who don’t realize that Samsung phones run a skinned version of Android so they say they run on Samsung and that it’s not an android when asked.

          I bet because the current market share makes it so a lot younger generation doesn’t realize that Mac OS is or was marketed as a superior movie and photo editing OS and that’s why a company may choose Mac over Windows. Maybe the company just lets their employees buy specific Mac and Window machines as all their applicable software works with both OS and OP just had a preference of Mac over Windows. Either way your response adds absolutely nothing but insulting another human.

    Way back before Scott Adams went completely off the deep end I had a tin of Dilbert branded mints called Encourage Mints. This is literally a joke from the hackiest office comic ever yet some manager(s) still thought it was good idea. WTF does business school teach?

      Company making millions due to its workers efforts, while rewarding them with practically nothing? Sounds like business school is teaching capitalism perfectly.

        They aren’t teaching psychology in them. Stupid “gifts” like these are a net negative. You are so much better off giving nothing than a crappy gift.

    Actually adding the amount of additional money you made them to the card is the cherry on top.

    During university I had a part-time job at a business that sells coachings, seminars and online courses to executives and management. It’s disgusting how these people talk and think about their employees.

    And it’s disgusting what they learned through coachings. It’s always about how to distract or guild trip employees who dare to ask for more money or who don’t work overtime. They aren’t even shy about it.
