With it being December, I thought it would be interesting and partially funny to share the “best” gifts our employers have given to us for the holidays other than “nothing”.
I’ll go first, and I know you all can top it.
In 2020, rather than a giftcard for coffee like we received the last couple of years, my employer decided to give us a company branded backpack. We were 100% remote at this time (prior to the pandemic it was about 50%). What was I supposed to do with that? Where was I supposed to go?
Even more importantly I need to know who’s idea it was . Like it wasn’t even a good backpack. It was thin and flimsy and had only a big pocket and a small pocket up front for pencils and stuff. The bag did not have a dedicated laptop area which we use daily for work.
