Perhaps a sign that the hospital admin needs a potato canon to the face, in their next group Minecraft session.

    That is like a Dickens villain. I didn't know they could be that tightfisted.

    At our Christmas party this year, the head of our facility drew names out of a hat to have a go at grabbing cash in a money blower while the rest of us watched. Inside the blower among the lower dominated bills was one 100 dollar bill. When one of my coworkers was chosen, she just refused to go up because she was so tired from working back to back shifts several times that week and didn't want to humiliate herself by jumping around for money.

      be amerishart
      local mart is free of sharts
      drive past the designated shooting school (aka all of them)
      drive another 2 hours to work
      work 8 hours
      drive back another 2 hours
      eat your holiday bonus baked potato which cost $200
      pay $30 in tax for your baked potato
      nighttime, go to sleep
      police do a no-knock raid on your house because the guy 2 houses down sells weed
      get shot in your sleep for resisting arrest
      miraculously survive, but have tremendous medical bills
      it's okay, the insurance terms say they'll cover it
      they won't cover it anyway
      quit job and squat on some land and farm potatoes
      now you can at least pretend you grow thousands of dollars per square foot
      DARPA mind E/M ray activates
      get taxed in your daydreams
      a few days later, the IRS comes to your field in bumfuck Idaho
      asks for $30 per $200 potato imagined
      you have no money so you can't pay, but they'll let it slide if you agree to be a neuralink test subject

    my job dangled a pizza party over us to increase sales and then decided a day of revenue was more important.

    My job recently sent me an email where I could choose my own christmas present from a short list of "approved" gifts. Unfortunately that turned out to be a phishing attack sent out by our IT-department, so my christmas bonus was literally just the holiday party that some staff threw last friday.

    My place of work threw a potluck, where everyone had to bring their own food. The boss didn't even show up with like a fancy dish which would have at least been something.

    Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?

    Oh right. The exec who approved a budget of $100 for a whole hospital of gifts and patted themselves on the back for being generous.
