Its usually middle management trying to keep morale up amongst their peers. Its the upper management that have all the control. Unfortunately, upper management treats middle management just as garbage as all the lower level people, in my experience.

You can go grab pizza on your break!

My work place used to give us food and snacks for free... now they only give finance shit for free. I literally fucking hate finance people, they are the biggest waste of money.. i swear to god if you got rid of 3/4 of all finance teams in the world nothing would fucking happen. Give me my tasty Tuesdays back you sacks of shit

It's always those shit rectangle slices too.
And even if everyone takes lunch/breaks at the same time it was delivered hours ago.

I've been on the management side doing this, too. There's no way to coordinate the delivery. It's just not possible with our universes laws.

I used to work with a guy that as soon as a slice was in my mouth, he'd ask, "you good? Want any more?". Then he'd proceed to put all the remaining pizza in Ziploc bags and take them home.

He's an asshole

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The best pizza I have ever had was rectangular sliced

Who are you again?

[–] BruceLee@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm gluten intolerant and you sound just like management !

[–] Chais@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

That was the goal.

He's Bruce Lee, or perhaps his ghost.

I was never dead to start with.

Same here bro. Shitty disease to have.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

I'm the only vegan at work, so management will try to facilitate that. But they can't remember which dietary restriction I have. Normally they think I'm diabetic. Last time there was pizza I got pointed to one corner and my CEO said "don't worry, we have some gluten free pizza right here." Champs.

God, we've all been at this table before, haven't we? This could be a screenshot from my eyes.
