Way back before Scott Adams went completely off the deep end I had a tin of Dilbert branded mints called Encourage Mints. This is literally a joke from the hackiest office comic ever yet some manager(s) still thought it was good idea. WTF does business school teach?
Company making millions due to its workers efforts, while rewarding them with practically nothing? Sounds like business school is teaching capitalism perfectly.
They aren't teaching psychology in them. Stupid "gifts" like these are a net negative. You are so much better off giving nothing than a crappy gift.
OP is a goddamn liar and is trying to spread misinformation. Notice how there are TWO staples but only ONE mint??? Nice try OP, but we all see through your poor facade and know you're actually a two mint-having bitch elitist!
Reminds me of getting a note from HR admonishing me to pick out my 20th work anniversary "gift" from "pages 12 to 16" of the supplied catalogue. I knew nothing of it. They concluded with "or we'll choose for you, i.e. a clock". I got luggage tags. For 20 years of my life. The best years of my life. Luggage tags. FML.
They are not even ashamed of doing this!
"What? It's cute!"
-some dipshit with an Agile certification
Gonna get an agile certification to get such a position and then coach my team into a fucking union
thanks for making us six million here's a lifesaver
This is the real reason why torches and pitchforks were invented.
What double sucks about this is that every time I've seen something like it, it's some middle manager who fights tooth and nail to try to get their team anything and is given a budget of $6.37 and whatever they can find in the break room for 100 people. I have unfortunately been that guy a few too many times and had to explain to absolutely clueless managers that doing nothing instead is preferable.
Thanks for making our shareholders money! Remember not to call in sick or ask for a raise and that unions take your money with no benefit!
DisappointMINT
DiscourageMINT
Lack of commitMINT to fairly compensating your employees
There's no way this is real - nobody would be that stupid, even in a management role, right?
When I was at Costco, for Member Service Week they literally gave us a rock, like from the gravel outside the office, with the note: "You rock!"
Your resignation letter should have just said "Now I'm about to roll"
I’ve seen this kind of cheesy thing as party favors for company Christmas parties. It’s a thing, but it’s almost never the ONLY thing. It’s more likely someone in management saw it on Pinterest and had to incorporate somehow to seem like the fun boss. The. Did some other lousy stuff to make it not seem so bad.
Every month my boss tells us how big a profit we're making. I think he thinks it's morale building. I'm guessing everyone thinks the same thing I do- "then I should be paid better." My Macbook Air, which I never took anywhere, was dying. I needed a new Mac for work. I suggested a Mac mini. They cost like $500. And I had to literally wait until my Macbook wouldn't stay on for more than 20 minutes for them to pony up the $500. God I hate it. I'm on FMLA right now though, which gives me time to look elsewhere.
I assumed this was a nursing sub until I looked closer. Hospital management only does horrid shit like this for staff.
These “rewards” are awful. My condolences.
If you’re lucky though, maybe you’ll get a small rock with a “You Rock!” printout next time.
Love that the staple pierces the mint's wrapper, essentially contaminating it and rendering it potentially unsafe to eat. So you don't even get that, lol.
Time to find new employMINT.
I mean it seems outrageously greedy, but stop and think about it: if they'd paid for a pizza party, the banner would've had to read "Thanks for driving sales and beating plan by $5,999,727!!" And that's just ugly.
Pictured: the moment Bob decided it was time to form a fucking union.
This is like in the UK when everyone clapped for the NHS workers during the COVID pandemic, including the PM and other government ministers.
But when said workers ask for a pay rise? Fuck off
I feel this will just breed resentmint
Actually adding the amount of additional money you made them to the card is the cherry on top.
My company gave everyone a 5% bonus just because we beat the forecasted numbers, but idk a mint looks fine too
Here is DisappointMINT
An invitation to burn your place of employmint to the ground.
I kept thinking "surely this was attached to something else and they didn't just give a mint and a few stupid jokes". Then I noticed another one of these stuck to a locker in the background. What pieces of trash. You don't show appreciation by saying "You are appreciated". You show appreciation by compensating your employees for their work.
I broke my back to make a company's CEO $6,000,000 and all I got was this stupid Polo mint
I kind of don’t care what company / industry / whatever this was. If you surpassed sales targets by $6 million dollars, you have some cash for decent gifts. Hell a six pack of beer would be something… don’t print me out a goddamn insult. At the same time, knowing how sales compensation usually works, these folks probably got hella paid, weak gifts aside.
Suddenly switching to papyrus font at the bottom lol
That is worse than nothing. I got angry just reading this.
Your labor is worth 6 million dollars. How much of that do you get?
Their labor is worth 6 million more than they thought because it was exceeding plan not total sales
Did you roll the Mint into the manager's office with a note "looks like I'm rolling out of here!"
