A year into COVID they had an all hands where they congratulated us on exceeding our productivity goals after a year of WFH. Then they announced that everyone was gonna have to come back to the office, and that because a different OU screwed up and got their dicks sued off there wasn't any money in the incentives budget and not to expect much in the way of bonuses that year.

Edit: ooh forgot to mention that a bunch of us pushed back because we didn't think it was safe yet, we got overridden by upper management, then after we came back in our state set a record for daily new COVID cases and daily deaths. It swept through the office, a bunch of my coworkers got really sick and one lady's husband died.

They offered to cater lunch and then didn't buy enough burgers for all of us. It was an all-hands meeting and they know how many people worked there, but they somehow thought that only about half of us would show up to the meeting we were all required to attend in person.

Goddamn dude, can you tell us 1 thing they did right?

They paid me really well for my first job out of college when I didn't know anything about anything.

I'm not OP but I'm sure they generated significant value for their stockholders.
