That's a man considering a new career.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

I got called in for an inventory audit on my birthday and ended up working from 8am to 2am the following morning.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

What kind of pizza did you get?

[-] arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 months ago

The "loving your work" poster behind him as well...

[-] ElectricFire@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago

And the trash can right next to him

But look how vibrant and happy the chairs are. What a crazy fun workplace.

[-] SeekPie@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

The hard plastic chairs with no cushion that break when you sit down too fast.

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

And his headset’s still on

[-] netvor@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 15 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago
[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

waffles? yes. pizza? toaster oven, yes.

[-] AliasVortex@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Ate without table -3

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Do people usually stay home for their birthday? I didn't know of any companies that specifically give you off, so I'd think you'd use PTO.

[-] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I really have no particular interest in taking my birthday off.

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 7 months ago

I'll take your birthday off for you.

Coming in on his birthday

Wait, you have jobs where you don't have to show up if it's your birthday?

[-] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 2 points 7 months ago

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 👍

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago

Sounds nice, it's good to see some people receive better conditions

[-] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 7 months ago

Tbf it looks nicer than anything I would bring to work for lunch. I just bring in pasta from the night before and give it a ding 🤣

[-] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 7 months ago

Not even a nice pizza either, that's clearly just a shitty microwave pizza

[-] Sergio@slrpnk.net 1 points 7 months ago
[-] MurrayL@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Nah, that’s a Tesco uniform so probably UK. It’ll be a Chicago Town mini pizza.

That same pizza is also given to those before a layoff I bet.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

So they leave by themselves?

[-] wabafee@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

To keep everyone on edge.

[-] Monzcarro@feddit.uk 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

1, I used to work for this company when I was young and had no idea what my rights were. They very much took advantage of this, such as calling me in on an hour's notice on my days off.

2, The Raw Egg Nationalist is a right-wing twat. https://hopenothate.org.uk/2024/06/20/egg-sposed-we-reveal-the-identity-of-far-right-bodybuilder-the-raw-egg-nationalist/

[-] Pika@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I had a strict I don't answer the phone when not working policy. They could attempt to call me in but it wouldn't be recieved. If they asked me while I was at work I usually said yes, but I'm not about to come in on an hours notice for the same rate of pay, if you want on call, pay for on call.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 months ago

A free meal on your birthday is pretty sweet.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

And what a feast it is!
