“In this company we treat you like family.” Uh... thanks, but my 'family' is actually a hot mess of drama and chaos. I’m good without a second one, honestly.
They made us do these personality mind games to figure out what motivates us. Spoiler: it stressed me out instead. Also, who can honestly categorize their coworkers after just meeting them? Nightmare fuel.
Instead of a nice year-end bonus, they gave us the option to pick a charity for the company to donate to. Cool idea, right? Except it was local, job-related, and basically cost the company zero. So, a firm 'thanks, but no thanks' from me.
Our mission pushed us to develop an “entrepreneurial mindset.” To me, that just means middle-men sniffing out cash. Not exactly the pep talk I needed. Spoiler: I left soon after.
We crushed our goals and... got one measly croissant as a reward. Yep, one croissant. Motivation level: hungry.
The school board promised to bring treats every day for Teacher Appreciation Week. What happened? Nothing. Not a single treat or apology. Teachers appreciated? Nope.
During Covid, they sent us insulated water bottles and a sheet of the company logo stickers. Like, thanks for the effort, but where’s the actual support?
Seriously, why can’t money just be a motivator? Sometimes it feels like that’s too much to ask.
