Working at a company in the custom service department for the holidays.
Today I log in, CEO posts on slack how this a record shattering sales week, over 7 Million in sales! Good for them I guess, It's seasonal and pays wells so what do I care?
Then less than 30 min later Customer Service Lead posts that we're doing a fun little game! The game is called 'Who can work the fastest?' The prize? a 50$ gift card! Well that's great except with the seasonal hires there are over 200 workers in the department! And only the single person with the highest productivity score gets the prize.
I get it, its the busy season and you want people to really work, but dangling a single 50$ gift card only given to 1 person out of 200+ while the CEO brags about the company making 7 Million in one week isn't a good look.
I'm seasonal, no matter how far I go above and beyond my employment with you will end in 4 weeks. No amount of ''fun'' productivity competitions will make me forget that. So no, I will work at the normal pace you hired me for.
