Today we were promised that if we get all our billing done on time we would get free pizza. But I work remotely. Where's MY pizza??

Leadership: “See? Random free pizza once every 6-12 months is why you should commute to the office every day.”

I mean $10 pizza! Who could resist!

Take the money you’re saving on commuting and buy yourself as much pizza as you like

To be fair, OP phrased very cheekily as either a joke or rage bait lol. I’m just thinking about it seriously because it’s come up a lot for me lately.

Joking aside I used to work at a place that did remote extremely well. Always remembered about us remote people and made us feel appreciated with little gestures, like Uber Eats credit for that dept lunch that most were having in person.

It’s those sorts of little things that make you feel like you’re not invisible.

Current gig is terrible at remote. The vibe seems to be “be thankful we employ you and don’t ask for anything”. I am thankful, but I also feel no shred of loyalty or belonging.

You're remote and have a better work/life balance. Stop complaining

OP......The ability to stay home with your pets and loved ones, cook food, do laundry, prep meals, use your own bathroom, play video games, watch tv, not spend on commuting ARE the small gestures and appreciation that remote workers get. If having all of this and your complaint is some cold pizza, you need to think long and hard about how good you have it.

I would ask for a $10 gift card for my pizza.

Reminds me of the time I was working as a news reporter at a small weekly. The owner of the paper was a multi millionaire— a descendant of an old monied NYC family—but she was stingy as hell. She gave us a pizza party one day, like she was doing us a favor. I kid you not, she placed one pizza and one salad on the floor of the newsroom. There were 12 of us. Do the math.
