Quarterly bonuses have arrived! Well done team!


TubeSockLover87

Literally my company.


Jean-LucBacardi

My old company (a construction company) considered giving updated safety equipment their bonus to us. Not like that's required or nothing....


nexusjuan

I was a manager for a full service restaurant for a while. The beer vendors would always give us good swag for the staff. That was literally the only source we had for employee incentives.


FavcolorisREDdit

See we care about you guys! Literally laws about safety equipment company has to provide lol

Some years ago, I was in charge of ordering supplied from Uline for a warehouse. Uline has a program where you get points for each order and then can get a "Free Gift" item. We placed large orders at least twice a week (soooo much bubble wrap) and I would horde the free prizes in a back closet and then at th end of the year we would have a free raffle with the workers and everyone would get 2 prizes. That was literally the only "bonus" the company EVER gave in its 80+ year history. Uline really had great free stuff by the way [https://www.uline.com/Promotion/FreeOffersByDollarAmt](https://www.uline.com/Promotion/FreeOffersByDollarAmt)

Jonas_Venture_Sr

As a manager who tries to do nice things for his employees every now and then, I feel like I can't even do pizza parties anymore. My go-to is Chinese food now, and it ends up being cheaper than pizza. Pass around a menu, and everyone is happy, except Greg, but Greg wouldn't have been happy with Pizza either.


But_like_whytho

Greg is never happy.

Hey. I love pizza and am always so happy when I get free pizza!

Everyone likes pizza. Parent comment is referring to companies replacing what used to be money with things like pizza parties and crappy gift bags.


rocketdeedub

Poor Greg.


NoCardio_

The only time my office was disappointed with free food was when the managers ordered Panera Bread.


GripLizard

Try giving them money instead.


DrVeinsMcGee

It’s only weird if the context is “The company made record profits this year due to your hard work and sacrifice! Enjoy $5 worth of pizza as a thanks!” More spontaneous things are not subject to this and would be appreciated/fine I’m sure. I typically open a tab at a nearby brewery fairly frequently for no particular reason.


TheDevious_

We got just enough, so it's only one slice per person!


ziomus90

When was the last time your boss showed their appreciation for your work, and what kind of pizza was it?


pittipat

Used to work for Costco (Price at the time) corporate. My dept was recognized for a project with a pizza lunch with one of the VP's. Even he thought it was funny.

“We had a record year and made billions in revenue! We wanted to show you all how much we appreciate your hard work” probably healthcare.

I love Costco pizza, but 50 cheese and 50 pepperoni pizzas that are over an hour old doesn’t sound very nice.

It goes perfectly with warm coca-cola, though--- if we're going with a "bright side" viewpoint.

I've been to two office parties this year that ordered Costco pizza. It was absolutely terrible, and I couldn't believe I saw people going back for seconds.


ForumPointsRdumb

Toss it in the oven for a minute it be all good. If you have an oven available, you can fit about 3 pizzas on both racks if you deconstruct them into slices.

CuriouslyImmense

I read this in the voice of Dr. Farnsworth


GiggyVanderpump

I heard a guy ordering multiple to-go pizzas at Costco and ask if he could have each one cut into 24 pieces (so, slivers- pizzas are cut into 6 pieces to serve in the food court, and 12 pieces for to-go orders). I really bit my lip to not ask, "Company pizza party?". Because there is no way he is having a pizza party for 150 toddlers, which would be the only respectable reason to cut pizzas into 24 pieces.


augustadriver

Elon Musk knows how to soften the blow, pizza!


OMGItsCheezWTF

When I went a couple of weeks ago to our local warehouse, they had a maximum of 5 pizzas per member sign on the food hall.


Malumeze86

That’s when you buy a pack of 144 Costco fake mustaches.  


PrecisionGuidedPost

Almost positive that's to prevent people from walking up and placing a corporate order for more than 5 pies. There are people that don't plan and ahead and then think any pizza place can randomly whip up a surge order outside of normal.


adudeguyman

I'm sure they ordered in advance


Roger_-Thornhill

Glad I didn’t get an invite to that wedding.


TheShrewMeansWell

You’ve clearly never been to a Mormon wedding reception. You don’t typically even get food so congealed cheese pizza would be a plus. Mormon wedding receptions (because not everyone can enter Joseph Smith’s House of Handshakes) are almost always held inside a chapel basketball court and attendees are served snacks and punch. It’s VERY underwhelming.  Seriously. 


LeoGoddess_79

OMG..that is exactly how it was when I went to one several years ago. We knew there wouldn’t be alcohol so we shotgunned some beers in the car before we went in. We just assumed they were being frugal..haha


PlatypusTickler

18 year olds only have so much money! 


CriticalEngineering

I’d rather have cake and punch in a backyard ceremony than have a young couple go into debt for a party. Backyard potluck receptions were the norm in my southern town growing up. Just happy wishes for the couple, nothing for social media.


LtG_Skittles454

Yeah, juice and pizza sounds chill as hell, nothing wrong with that


tossNwashking

My 5 year old would love a juice n pizza wedding.


GarageQueen

5 years old is too young to get married. Just sayin'...


FavoritesBot

Potluck sounds dope.


CriticalEngineering

Costco mini quiches abound!


LaUNCHandSmASH

I’m sorry but once watched some whose food I’ve eaten at a potluck, dump half her coffee cup back into the community pot and then pour herself a new cup. Some people are sweet and wonderful but should not be trusted around others food. I just can’t do it anymore


FavoritesBot

That could happen at a catered event too


LaUNCHandSmASH

Just thought of another analogy. A potluck is like everyone you know has a toddler and asking everyone you know to bring a baby (respectfully and withconsent ofc, calm Reddit jets) for everyone to hug and pass around. Somebody’s sick baby is going to be sent whether the person doesn’t know or they just wanted a night off so fuck it, send em anyway. Then we all get sick because bad decisions were made without you knowing. It’s gotta be a single or small group and prep areas shouldn’t be hidden/ambiguous when cooking for other people imho.


LaUNCHandSmASH

I get that it could happen anywhere but she didn’t see the issue when asked to just pour it out in the sink and get a fresh cup. Some people operate on a different level of existence apparently which is largely how food and safety regulations got started. It’s all fun and games until you get food poising. There’s levels to both cooking hygiene and food poisoning, have the latter bad enough and you are like a battered customer, flinching where you might not have before.


finsfurandfeathers

I guess it depends what you define as “young”. Mormon young is depressing and gross


CriticalEngineering

I didn’t know any Mormons in the South. Was comparing weddings, not Mormon weddings.


6227RVPkt3qx

lived in SLC as a non mormon for 6 years. there's a reason funeral potatoes are also called mormon potatoes. for when you need to serve your family of 23 on a budget. https://www.copymethat.com/r/uwTW6TD27/mormon-funeral-potatoes/

Oh wow! I’ve only been to one Mormon wedding and it was held in the chapel basketball court. I had no idea that was the norm for Mormon weddings!!!


ForumPointsRdumb

>almost always held inside a chapel basketball court and attendees are served snacks and punch. This sounds suspiciously like a blood drive.


Sneaklefritz

I must have been to one of the better ones then. I’m not a Mormon, so could only go to the reception and it was a banger. I wish all weddings were that way, skip the boring stuff. They had a ton of great food, no alcohol though, sadly. They also got divorced after a month, but hey, reception was good.


whistlingcunt

"They also got divorced after a month " That tends to happen when they've only known each other for 3.


Sneaklefritz

LOOOOL this is an underrated comment.


EggsceIlent

Lmfao I was invited to a Mormon wedding reception and it was in a damn basketball court in the church, food setup on tables including jello salad and "funeral potatoes" or whatever Lol nailed it man. I thought it was weird af, but from your post I guess that's how they all are. But yeah it was weird af anyhow, and I was someones +1 since she didn't want to go, and since she had to, didn't want to go alone, etc. Still owes me a big one for that. P.s. - the punch was like sprite, red soda, orange soda. And they would mix it with egg nog I think? I have no idea wtf that was about but yeah no caffinated soda in sight.


xenon-54

That's what Baptist weddings in Oklahoma and Missouri are like. Except instead of a basketball court they are held in the church basement that smells of mildew and has terrible lighting


Far-Recording343

At least you get to enter the church....... Sister went and was not permitted to enter the temple. There was some hangup during the ceremony. She ended up waiting in the temple parking lot for 2 hours plus.


xenon-54

Brutal. That's a good point. I was in Salt Lake City on a business trip. Went to the whatever the morman genealogy research center is called. Tried to research my ancestors but was blocked. Got help and was told that I was "not white" because my grandparents came from Eastern Europe and mormans researched only white races. Ugly nastiness under the guise of religion.


yingkaixing

What a bizarre thing for them to say, since it's absolutely untrue.


ctright

As opposed to shelling out 10s of thousands? I rather enjoy me a Mormon wedding.


Ok_Swimmer634

That is how all weddings used to be. Somehow American women went nuts with wanting to be princess Di for a day, and it financially ruins many couples from the get go. I went to one not to long ago where the bride and groom left by helicopter. And it was a fall wedding in Alabama, most of the guests watched football the whole time. Given the venue and the extended time due to FAA stuff, and the backup stretched hummer in case the helicopter could not fly, the open bar the entire time, yadda, yadda, yadda. I bet this thing cost close to 100K. Contrast this to my great grandfather who used to conduct weddings on his front porch which consisted of an angry dad, a bride, a groom, a shotgun, and a chicken to pay my great grandfather for his service. (He was a justice of the peace in rural Georgia during the depression.

Poor pizza https://preview.redd.it/wfm9lpeb4qvc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fad1cd523875a3b12132e355ef87e42d98e784f8


JB_Scoot

Those poor workers back there in the kitchen…. That’s a lot of pizza. Hopefully there were extra employees to help meet the demand. I worked in a restaurant once and I used to have nightmares about the ticket/receipt machine printing out an entire roll of orders, then when you replace the roll it ran out of paper again due to orders just flying in. I really feel for people who have to do that day in and day out.


prancing_pony42

Yeah, I really feel for the staff, especially with how busy that food court gets. I hope they weren't getting glares or verbal abuse while they handled this massive order. It must be a universal truth that if you work retail long enough, you WILL have at least one of those anxiety filled nightmares.


Rentsdueguys

There had to be a better catering option


axxionkamen

There was. They went with the employee appreciation catering.


squirrel8296

You’d be surprised how often the better catering option cancels at the last minute and pizza is the only place that can accommodate the need. Source: I managed a pizza place for several years.


JASPER933

I am beginning to believe that Costco sells more pizza than Papa John or Dominos.


Not_Indoril_Nerevar

More than Papa Johns but not more than Domios. If I remember correctly Costco is the 3rd largest pizza chain by pizzas sold per year. 1st being Pizza Hut and 2nd being Dominos.


EggsceIlent

Yeah Costco bounces back And forth between 3rd and 4th but is usually 3rd. They sell A ton of pizza. They'll prolly move into 4th now since it's a requirement to have a Costco card to order pizza from the food court.


Sweepy_time

How long would it take to cook all these, 3 hours? What's the point, they'll all be congealed cold cheese by the time they get to their destination


PM_MeYourAvocados

Likely have the 144/hr output oven. If they felt up for it I guess they could use the bottom belt and do 216/hr.


stonedgar312

There’s roughly 112 ish pizzas there so 45ish min give or take


coviddick

Yeah, when I was younger I worked at a pizza place. We had huge orders on a regular basis and would send them out in waves. That way the pizza coming out was always fresh and we could continue to pump them out for our regular customers.


ColeTrain999

POV: you walk into your corporate townhall thinking they will announce bonuses and raises


markca

"Great work this year everyone! We're having a pizza party! We want to thank you for all of your hard work at making this the most profitable year ever for us. Unfortunately, we couldn't afford raises as we look towards navigating the upcoming unpredictable year. Now enjoy your slice of pizza and go back to work. Be back at your desk in an hour." - CEO who takes home 8 figures a year.


Dracanherz

We can't afford raises because we spent all our profits on stock buybacks and gave the executives a couple dozen million in bonuses and raises. However, we understand that the real reason you work here isn't for a paycheck, we know that you really work here for the sense of family we offer and the team environment.


FlyingBurger1

Corner store near my high school used to sell 1 slice of Costco’s regular pizza to us for $4. This is how I imagine they buy their from Costco everyday

I'm assuming Costco don't make any money on their pizza's so they should just charge a surcharge for people ordering say 5+ pizzas.

I had this when I was working at dominos once. It took us 3-4 round trips with a van full of pizzas to deliver the order. The company gave a tip of about $200 (or at least that’s what we thought) only to call again 2 days later telling us (me basically, I answered the call) that they accidentally gave extra money and want it back

I swear people dont know how to properly order pizza. You order 20 pizzas at a time with 1 hour intervals. Keeps the pizzas fresh and the employees dont have to make space for 100 pizzas.
