‘Tis the season to celebrate our loved ones, and also for employers to show how much they care.
Whether by throwing a Christmas bash or handing out extra cash, businesses around the world are broadly expected to offer their dedicated staff a festive token of their appreciation.
And who deserves more recognition than the workers who keep our healthcare systems afloat?
Yet, the senior management team at one hospital apparently decided that rather than boost their staff’s pay or treat them to a slap-up meal, they would provide them with…
Potatoes.
The questionable move was broadcast to social media by an X/Twitter user who calls herself Amanda B.
She explained dejectedly: “My work is doing a potato bar as our Christmas bonus. I’m literally getting a hospital potato as a bonus.”
She then added: “They also said it has a $15 (£11.85) value so it will be taxed on our next check. Does anyone need an assistant so I can just quit right now?”
The divide will keep growing until people start to get hungry.
We’ve already proven time and time again that the worst they’re going to get out of us for anything they do is harsh words and disapproval. And since they know the worst we can do is complain they’re going to keep doing it.
There won’t be any legislation or policy charges to help us.
When we can’t eat and can’t feed our children we’ll finally have to motivation to make the changes ourselves.
Yup, they know the population is placated by social media, but their mistake is thinking that makes them immune from the guillotine.
It does though, as long as we have our bread and circuses they’re safe, and nothing will change until one or both dry up.
the bread is already drying up in america, people have died because they couldn’t get heating in texas winter
