    I got $100 and a video from a bunch of dead-eyed execs I’ve never seen before in my entire life thanking me for all the hard work that I do. I’d almost have rather just gotten nothing at all.

          No he doesn’t want it, so you me and the other guy can split. $30 is $30 bucks as far as I care, turn it into a bag of weed.

      the video is so funny to me. showing a canned response to an employee they’ve never met has me in hysterics

        It was so eerily dystopian. Telling me how much they appreciate me and how valued I am as an employee, as their eyes trail from side to side while they read the prompter.

          suits buy into the corpo crap so hard

          it’s just amazing that they can convince themselves into thinking that a video like that would make your day

      My direct manager gives out lottery scratch-off tickets at the winter holiday party. Last year I won $5.

          What? That’s not how a lottery ticket machine works. Part of the front has to be scratched off to determine if it is a winner, even with the machine. I know, because I remember having to scratch this part off myself for customers redeeming tickets back when I sold them. (The part the machine needed was along the edge, and many didn’t scratch there.) (This is specific to Tennessee, but I doubt any state used a system where you can tell if it’s a winner without anything being scratched.)
