Sort-of memes that are cracking you up at the moment

..nice!

NHS hospital charities usually splash the cash supporting staff Xmas parties that can't take place so 8000 people just got a £25 gift voucher of their choice which is nice.

Nationwide have given us all £35 gift vouchers in lieu of a party. Also today I have received my (i think) third complimentary cake delivery from them.

A galaxy bar though!

my work have gone for a Fortnum & Mason hamper for every employee. I have lovely pickles now and a wicker basket that is going to make a good picnic hamper.

I am lacking a decent bit of milk chocolate and caramel though.

Not gloating, more like (cocoa) solid(s)arity with chocolately work gift brothers and sisters, we got this today

Between you, right?

Our work normally has catered parties with free bars that would easily be £100+ a head. They offered us Xmas surprises this year, and I asked for a donation to charity instead. Cheap cunts gave £12.

Was there any meaning in this or as random as it sounds??

None of these are beating my corporate branded, hand sanitiser holder/keyring that I received in the post from work a couple of days ago.

Yes, clear a space on the shop floor then play a massive version of that scout game with oven gloves and a knife and fork. Takes 2 weeks

I'm sure everyone really appreciates the posh hamper and not the £400 in their pocket 🧐

Do you have the correct bike to carry it, maybe a Mercian with fancy lugwork?

I’m getting a £25 voucher, I’ve spent a week subtly working out everyone’s partners and children’s names so the cards are addressed to X,Y and family. It’s been fun doing it without them guessing and due to GDPR I’ll have to do it every year.

Did lol

How?

They like the road salt that ends up on cars, the sign is in Jasper.

A well known rapid transit organisation I work for once gave everyone at the depot a voucher for a free lunch one year. It was worth around £6, enough to get the Christmas lunch on offer in the Canteen. A few hours after getting it, it was cancelled because the other depot on my line wasn't offered it . Bah Humbug.

Great. But if you can advise on how to stop the moose that’d be handy next time I’m in Canada...

Implausible as it sounds it did happen ...
and down here we didn't get flower seeds.
There was a lot of industrial unrest at the time.

I’d be reet glad of a Galaxy bar from my employer. We get fuck all. No party, no meal, no present, no bonus.

There is usually a night out but it’s down to us to organise and fund ourselves. At least the current sitch means that’s off so I save like £50 and don’t need to spend an evening socialising with people who’s names I struggle to remember.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'd definitely take a Galaxy Caramel over fuck all.

This year we got book tokens, bought for us by one of our governors. I think it's great, we normally don't get anything and I love books.

Also we normally get presents from our line managers, e.g. I got a bottle of Cava from mine and I gave my team some chocolate coins and a card. They're probably on their forums now saying "all I got was some Lidl chocolate money."

Got an ounce of weed and a case of Stout: cheers boss!

I used to work for a courier company where every Friday the boss used to send someone to the Offie with £20 for a pack of king size Rizla and spend the rest on beer.

Best to destroy the herbs @Scilly.Suffolk in a series of small controlled fires.

This year my employer booked Jessie J, Bastille and Will.I.am to perform on a teams style concert, see attached the gross we're down with you guys email that was sent around telling us to 'save the date'.... excuse me while I poke my own eyes out.
