my company today:

"You guys have worked hard all year! Since it's the end of the fiscal year, and you've shown a profit greater than all the other divisions here, we'd like to congratulate you! With--

some ice cream."

 

[FalseTodd]

TOFUTI BREAK!

of course it's better than the pink slip. did they remind you of that?

 

[TheNewChupe]

yeah, that's basically been the attitude circulating- "we're lucky to have jobs."

but i'm starting to doubt the veracity of that statement.

 

[mindspell]

Ice cream. Some congradulation. You should have insisted that you are lactose intolerant and needed something else to see if they would've scambled for it...

 

[TheNewChupe]

i think they have tasers set aside for such instances.

i'm not really bitching, i just think doing nothing would've been better than giving us ice cream. what are we, 3rd graders?

 

[avi]

we get the "join us for snacks and booze at 5pm on Friday!" when damn near everyone who does most of the work here is long gone by that time. fuck that noise.

one of our clients actually rewards their locations with a PIZZA PARTY if they do well on the ratings we send the headquarters. and that was the term used. "Pizza Party"

guitar center used to say that if a mars music in competition with our store managed to close down then they would give the store like $15,000 to do whatever they wanted. my boss used to say we would close the store down for the day and just have a huge party. it never happened while i was there though.

in fifty years, the greatest regret of greg's life will be that he missed "coke and hooker day" at Guitar Center.

 

[Astral Poetry]

I've never seen so many dead hookers in my life! God knows Greg has.
