People share terrible gifts they get from their company this time of year!

Not every company is generous this time of year. In fact, some are downright Scroogy.

A Reddit post asked: “What cheap/terrible holiday ‘bonuses’ are people starting to receive from work this year?”

Some responses:

  • I work in sales (top performing team). Entire team got the same book on how to be a better at sales. We are supposed to read this book on our downtime (whenever that is) and then management wants to go over the book chapter by chapter in our weekly team meetings.

 

  • I used to work at the Cheesecake factory and one year they gave everyone a cheesecake. From Costco.
  • Boss sent out a $10 Starbucks gift card the day he laid off 10% of our staff. “It’s not a layoff, it’s a coffee break” is now a banned phrase on Teams/Slack.
  • We got told we were getting nothing. And the management excuse was, "Well, not everyone celebrates Christmas, so it wouldn't be fair."
  • We get a mandatory work party which will cost each of us $25.
  • Got one tall boy of Bud Light. Just watched the CEO leave in a new Porsche while typing this. Had to hold back my feelings of throwing the can at him.
  • Company sent one box of candy/snacks for our 14-person team.
  • T-shirt with company logo

 

  • We just got asked to contribute our own money to buy the customer service team gift cards.
