So my job is manufacturing parts for the consumer goods supply chain. We make stuff for things that go on store shelves. Therefor we've been deemed essential. And with the mass panic buying we've been busier than ever before. In fact we broke an all time record this month with several days left. In recognition of everyone working so hard and diligently we were informed today that on Friday, upper management will be supplying us with a sack lunch. Consisting of a cold ham or turkey sandwich and a cookie. I simply could not help but laugh in my bosses face when I was informed of this. I would rather just take that $1.75 they spend on that and add it to my paycheck. I get that there's not a lot of options when it comes to food for us right now. But damn, a cold sad sandwich? I would legitimately prefer a "Great Job!" sticker.
I've also been tossing around the idea of creating an informal FEMA theme for Fridays lunch time festivities.
Man that is so bad it makes me sad. When I was working 80-100 hour weeks for months on end during crunch time for shipping games, even the cheapest shittiest studios would at worst get us In-N-Out for lunch/dinner, but normally just family-sized orders from restaurants. The larger studios just had catering twice/day at those times.
Also I never got paid any bonus or any more than if I was working 40 hours/week. Literally the food was the only bonus for slaving away.
