Ever noticed how some jobs will throw pizza parties or “wellness days” instead of just… paying people fairly or hiring enough staff?

What’s the most ridiculous perk or gesture your workplace used to cover up bigger problems?

I find the providing food one to be especially irking as there often are not vegetarian options. Remember your vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free folks!

I also find group volunteer PTO to be annoying. I don’t want to hang out with my coworkers any longer than needed. Just provide more pure PTO.

Proper PTO is definitely the way to go! However I always think of vegetarian and vegan but you've made me think I should really think of gluten free...

Did your teachers ever do that thing when you were a little kid, where they put a gold star beside your name for all to see if you were behaving? And it worked because....you were a little kid without bills and kids to feed and stickers were great? Ya, my managers decided doing that would be "good for morale". Each day we hit our targets, we get a star beside our name on a big board. I hate working here.

Makes it seem like all your problems are nothing because you've got a sticker!
