Who cares about losing all of your income if you might get $10 of carboard cheese bread?

For real though are these just naïve people or are they HR shills?

The latter for the most part, theres still a few people that go into the office more than most (customer support is compulsory office for example) so they're a lot easier to be led with a carrot and stick.

We'll get to them too, though. Just today I announced the intention to form a union to a bunch of colleagues I've pulled into a covert whatsapp. No pizza party can survive a union drive.

Hell yeah that's awesome. Thank you for doing that organizing work! May your recognition happen quickly and management fold during contract negotiations.

The company actually used to give us all digital coupons for pastries and stuff on the regular, but now any and all niceties are to lure people into the office.

We got an all-hands meeting next week that's the length of an entire workday. I'm expecting similar shit.
