And here I am taking off my entire birthday week off like a rube.
This is the way. I don’t even care if I can share most of it with anyone. Like a party or get together is nice perhaps but spending a week sitting around in my shorts, drinking garbage lager and playing vidja games from the past? 1 sick week out of the muddling other 51. Pretty good shit imo.
Most commenters here don’t appreciate how sad the image really is: the headset is playing some corporate prefabricated Happy Birthday message, starting and ending with “Loving your work.” company motto accompanied with nothingmusic in background.
This is Tesco. I heavily doubt they do that. The pizza is probably just something a colleague came up with than an actual policy thing.
Not even a nice pizza either, that’s clearly just a shitty microwave pizza
Prolly Altoona pizza.
Nah, that’s a Tesco uniform so probably UK. It’ll be a Chicago Town mini pizza.
Wow, this looks unappetizing even in the company’s professionally-photographed marketing pages: https://chicagotown.com/the-range/deep-dish
Never heard of this brand before, and they claim to be the “number 1 pizza brand in America”.
The more I look at this pizza, the more I feels bad for the guy in the picture. I’m so sorry your life turned out this way, Cecil.
Crusts go rock hard and the rest is too piping hot to eat out of the microwave. There’s a significant proportion of British people of a certain ages who’s formative impression of American pizza is this.
What’s even more depressing is they come in packs of 2 and he’s only been given one of them.
The second is given to the team to split onto everyone and celebrate, too
Truly Tesco’s generosity knows no bounds.
Bro that looks like a waffle with syrup wth kinda pizza even is that
microwaved, not even toasted
Toasted?!
waffles? yes. pizza? toaster oven, yes.
I got called in for an inventory audit on my birthday and ended up working from 8am to 2am the following morning.
What kind of pizza did you get?
Huge feet. Must have absolutely massive socks.
The pizza isn’t the saddest part, it’s their terrible break room setup. Two chairs uncomfortably close in the corner, sandwiched between a shoe rack that people might need to access and a trash can. Probably designed by the same people who design their cars…
This picture is pure art. Holy shit.
Anyone who willingly associates with Raw Egg Nationalist deserves this fate tbh
That same pizza is also given to those before a layoff I bet.
So they leave by themselves?
To keep everyone on edge.
I can’t decide if this is AI generated or if bro has size 38 shoes
If he is working at a place that requires steel or composite toes they will also look like clown shoes.
Why would he still have on his phone headset during lunch too?
Is it a headset? They .ight just be cheap headphones, but you don’t really see those anymore
He’s clearly a big guy, look how far his legs extend past the edge of a normal chair.
Jesus it’s wild to think people would assume I’m an AI generated image based off of the fact that I wear a size 15 US (49 Euro).
Sure, that’s what an AI generated image would say
Damn, is that a Lunchables UPLOADED!?
“I suddenly feel very sick.”
The pizza inexplicably gets tossed in the garbage and he’s homeward bound…
Coming in on his birthday
Wait, you have jobs where you don’t have to show up if it’s your birthday?
My current job and not my last job but the one before fhat yes. (Join a union)
We get birthdays off, not counting towards the 30 days paid holidays, which is completely separate from unlimited paid sick days. Oh, and also since last Wednesday, the entire company is on holidays, we’re back 2nd week of January. Doesn’t count towards the 30 days, of course 👍
Sounds nice, it’s good to see some people receive better conditions
It says “shift leader”. Shift work jobs have some flexibility for days off anyway, and if the management is nice they schedule the week so your birthday is free.
I have pto
I used to in a previous job. They brought in a thing where if your birthday fell on your usual shift day, you got it off at full pay.
There are also some places that might just do a nice, if not grandiose, gesture for someone on their birthday.
Previous place I worked it was pretty routine for a manager to grab one of those containers of store made cupcakes if it was someone’s birthday and they knew they didn’t mind, make sure they got one and leave the rest in the break room.
Never anything more or less than just a nice gesture.I’m guessing someone tried a nice gesture and it came out looking sad, so they posed for a picture for a chuckle and moved in. I don’t know anyone who would be really upset by being given a pizza bagel on their birthday.
I’ve never had that … But for the past seventeen years I’ve used PTO if my birthday wasn’t on the weekend and I haven’t been denied yet, so there’s that?
Defiant Jazz!
Can’t wait for season 2
2nded
Show?
Severance. It’s on Apple TV, but it’s definitely worth watching
Same. I think I have the wrong food reward party though
