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...

Canadian too. I was in housekeeping, In the middle of the pandemic the hospital decided to cut out our holiday party completely. The doctors, surgeons and hospital board still got their party, fully funded, but not us cleaners who were on the front lines.
After cutting our party, they hand us an envelope, inside is a letter with donation requests for the hospital. They'll slap you in the face and ask you for money in the same breath.

This is during a fiasco where some staff have found out that they're paying new hires more than people who have been there for five years!
this is true at almost every company and every role. New hires get paid more than long timers overwhelmingly. Staying put is a pay cut every year from inflation.
I can get that potato at Wendy's for less than the tax on $15.
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.
I’m so happy I don’t work in healthcare anymore, our bonus used to be a a frozen turkey. My bonus this year was a flat $1,000 after the tax was taken 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.
And you’re self-employed?
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.
