‘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?”
A baked potato was $25 at the strip club I used to frequent, but for that you got two strippers bringing it to you while playing a rather amusing game of hot potato.
That SMCF, and yes that honestly sounds worth it to me.
What does this stand for?
Lol at the meme of the user.
SMH, I didn’t connect it to the GP’s username 🤦♂️
It was the cheap part of those nights.
The booze, cocaine and divorces added up though.
And here I thought baked potatoes were supposed to be savoury.
That sounds worth every cent.
