Pizza parties are insulting. My friends in tech have unlimited PTO and equity, and I got celebrated with Domino's when we crushed Q3 targets. We're both corporate professionals. Why does our industry treat basic respect like a luxury?

I'm at the point where I would prefer nothing over such paltry "incentives." How about they give a pizza party to the C-suites when we reach our goals and the rest of us can get a raise for once.

Exactly! The people doing the real work deserve more than a slice of pizza, how about some actual compensation instead?

That's just the nature of the beast. The only people with good perks and compensation in retail are the white collar workers. Us store employees are viewed as expendable and treated as such.

Exactly, it’s like we’re just the replaceable faces keeping things running while they get all the rewards.

That's all we've gotten for years too. Every celebration is pizza....

Right? Feels like pizza is the only perk they know how to give 😂

Someone that works in tech with a great corporate job shouldn’t have a pizza party. It is very insulting that they did that. I guess times are hard now. We don’t have the luxury for even having a party at my workplace.

It's to the point that the pizza party is a cliche for bad management.

Totally, it’s like the go-to “we care” move that really doesn’t fix anything.

You are reminding me of my company where every celebration is pizza party that too from some cheap place that you even want to look at it.

Hey all,

What's with the probation period with Deloitte India? What's the rate of termination, if there are any, unlike the other firms (who have a probation but 99.99% of the employees are confirmed at the end of probation).

Appreciate your inputs.

Thank you.
