My hospital once have us all savemart gift cards and the value was reflected in our paychecks. My gift card was empty when I went to use it...
Isn't that freaking wage theft?!?
Yes.
I can get that potato at Wendy's for less than the tax on $15.
And it will be bigger and likely taste better than this fuckin thing.
Yeah. This sounds like some creative financial bullshit.
This $15 potato will likely be taxed at 22% federally, so those taxes alone will be $3.30, which is probably more than the actual material cost of the potato.
At my last job, each Thanksgiving they'd give everyone a turkey sandwich from some catering company. It came with a little ketchup cup sized thing of potato salad,babs a pickle. you could opt for a veggie alternative. They would charge you 20 dollars for this on your next check.
The highest paid employee made 8.75.
I opted out.
Hey, it could be worse... My company got me nothing! Ten years in a row!
The potato is actually worse. They're paying far more than the value of the potato in taxes, as it's considered a gift.
I'd rather have nothing than pay some else's taxes for a gift I didn't want that is way over-valued.
But did you have to pay taxes on your nothing?
I would gladly accept nothing over this any day of the week.
And you’re self-employed?
Yeh, I got a tax bill though. So that's nice I guess.
Whoever in the UK thought it would be a good idea to do the income tax payment over Xmas and January needs a slap in the face.
Is hospital in Latvia?
My hospital bought us pizza. Yesterday. On my day off.
What a half baked idea.
Obviously this is pretty bad, but anything coming via Shitter (X) at this point should be ignored.
everytime i see screenshots posted here it feels like we're all feeding trolls, and we should stop.
