We have concessions at work and we usually split the money made from it every 6 months between the crew and the office. We also use the recycled metal from the parts that are unusable and put that towards the fund. Usually this split is about $100 to $150 on average which is decent and nice on a holiday.
I was told that one of the people from the shop got injured stripping metal off and was going over with our corporate office about what happened and he mentioned that we recycle the metal. They asked what for and he said for our bonuses every 6 months. Apparently corporate didn’t like this at all.
They gave my manager an ultimatum. We have a bunch of balls in a jar with our names on them and they’ll pick out a couple of balls and whoever is picked gets a gift card(not sure about the amount because this hasn’t started yet).
Or
They just do a $200 dollar lunch, like pick a place and get everyone a meal. We already get this every month when we hit our profit goal which is paid by corporate themselves. But in time it sounds like they would just replace that system with this so corporate doesn’t have to pay us anything and we pay for every benefit we have.
We obviously chose the gift cards cause it wouldn’t take over anything. Corporate does give us gift cards on Thanksgiving and Christmas but it’s only like $10-$20.
Just wanted to bring a little light on this. I’m very indifferent on this cause I’m trying to find a new job which is taking an ungodly amount of time. Plus I don’t like most of the people I work with especially politically. It’s very Uber Conservative and I hate hearing the Trump/Desantis praises and homophobic shit.
