Bring your own morale.

The correct move is to put the box in the manager's office. You can also relabel it "cash donations/for our hard work/drop $ here"
Fuck. Right. Off. With. That.
If the company can’t fork over a bit for morale then don’t even bother throwing an egg hunt.
I truly hope nobody is stupid enough to spend their own money on this.
Who wants to bet they'll start tracking who didn't bring anything and use it in performance reviews
I'd buy smarties just to throw a couple in a sandwich bag to toss them in.
Some "team player" definitely will.
Reminds me of last Halloween's pumpkin decorating contest. Each department got a pumpkin. No carving allowed, even a puncture meant disqualification. However, no supplies or materials were provided. I was a department head, and had employees from other departments near tea...
I would have submitted a plain untouched pumpkin as my entry. Or written "morale" on it in whiteboard marker - then wiped it off mid judging, like some kind of Temu Banksy.
What a bleak and condescending "morale booster". They probably felt so proud bringing fun into the office, an activity befitting of kids in elementary school. Good on you for calling it out. I recommend they drop the contest and just pay their employees bonuses to boost the...
The box, the exclamation points, the tile floor…this whole image depresses the hell out of me.
Why can’t the company pay for the lousy chocolate Easter eggs?
Easter eggs are expensive! How can the bosses afford payments on vacation homes and yachts *and* Easter eggs at the same time?!
Egg prices are crazy
My favorite is when the President of your company goes around to the hourly staff for donations to buy a gift for the Owner (100 mil net worth) of the company. Suggested donation was $250 per staff member. As you can imagine, that went over well.
The place I just quit used to make u pay a dollar for the privilege of wearing jeans on Friday so they could use that money to buy pizza for everyone.
🤦♂️
My company recently had a cereal happy hour. Milk provided, BYOC 🙃
We had one of those! People just took home the milk. The next year they made sure to pre-open the cartons. Some of the guys drank whole cartons of milk. But most of it had to be tossed.
Me brining in the ice creme maker, few other ingredients and making myself ice creme
You know damned well they write these events off as community events or some other loophole, why the heck should the workers be fronting the sweets?!
I still have candy canes from Christmas; I'd donate those.
Whoever came up with this idea, sucks big time. Incoming "Nobody donated so we're not gonna do it." Any day now
Drop in a single box of tic tacs or a single tin of altoids lmao
Fisherman’s Friend drops are stronger ;)
A single tic tac
Time to bring in grandma's old ribbon candy and licorice goodies! I'm SO glad I work in a place that did away with any of this crap, it's ridiculous. Worked in a place that did Secret Santa and that was a nightmare.

they really expect us to work with good vibes as our only benefit huh
Lol fuck that.
Fill it with potatoes.
I've had jobs since '72. I've had a couple i would contribute a few bucks to for stuff like this. But the last job i had before retirement had great management, solid policies, and we actually had fun. I spent a chunk of money at a lot of events- all of which were on the c...
Get those "beanboozled" beans >:)
Egg it
How about donations for filling up my gas tank?
Show up at the next department staff meeting expressing concern that the budget at the company is so tight that they can’t afford candy Then say - “does that mean we should all be looking for jobs due to the instability of the company?”
Yup I had a job right out of Highschool, the director gave everything that was collected to her own family. What a disappointment. The next fundraiser we had nobody gave anything.
I'm sure there's people at that site that would call you negative if you said anything about it.
Instead of candy donations, how about paycheck donations?
Black licorice jellybeans
This is a great opportunity to make sure everyone fails the upcoming 4/21 drug tests so you can party the day before
Ha
I have a 1/3 full 6 month old jumbo marshmallows perfect for this
So if this isnt just a manager trying to get a voluntary thing going, its gross
One time a job took us to Top Golf and gave us weird looks when we didn’t want to spend our own money. Why do they think employees are responsible for things like this?
Needs more !
Put a note in there that says "we can barely afford groceries :-)" and make sure to change your handwriting so no one knows 🤗
