Company Decides To Host Appreciation Potluck, But The Only Thing On The Menu Is Disappointment

Spread the love

Businesses putting profits over people is nothing new.

But while the average worker rarely gets a chance to do anything about it, one Redditor found the perfect way to challenge their company’s blatant corporate greed.

The opportunity presented itself when management announced they were hosting an appreciation event for the employees—except, audaciously, they were expected to cater it themselves. Refusing to let such a ridiculous plan slide, the Redditor spoke up in a way that not only exposed the hypocrisy but also forced the bosses to scramble for a solution. Read the full story below.
