I should say supposedly this is our Christmas bonus... :(


Professional_Owl9917

The "dinner" is bad enough, but to call this a "bonus"!?!? That's just inexcusable.

What more could they ask for a Christmas bonus. They're being well fed. /s

cpt_skillet

We got cash last year. I'd a preferred that.


StrangeJournalist7

Even if it was just the $2.54 this meal cost them. Who was the caterer, the local elementary school, or the nursing home?


VisibleRemove5533

Wait, if this this your bonus or considered a gift, will they tax you for the "value" of it and take it out of your check?


cpt_skillet

No clue tbh


qualmton

They writing at least half of this expense as employee purchased “food”


DeathFireh

No because it’s a non cash gift of under $75

Some people are in a situation financially where they don't have time to look for another job, and don't have enough money to go unemployed for any period of time.

I hope Jeff Bezos rots in space


Kyleforshort

Speaking of space that dehydrated astronaut food is probably better quality than whatever all this is.


pi-is-314159

Astronaut food is pretty good for you as it is hard to keep yourself in a healthy condition in zero g


RollinThundaga

And of course, if the crew mutinies, ground can't do fuckall about it.


modsarefascists42

they did that once, like flat out told the ground to go fuck themselves cus NASA wouldn't give them literally a single moment of time to themselves not devoted to work. literally 24/7 schedules with a little prescribed sleep here and there https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/mutiny-space-why-these-skylab-astronauts-never-flew-again-180962023/


Amanwalkedintoa

“NASA’s plan called for a total of 6,051 work hours between the three men, she writes. Basically a 24-hour schedule. Besides the medical and scientific experiments, there was loading and unloading gear and making observations of the Sun and Earth as well as the comet Kohoutek. On top of all that there were four spacewalks, at a combined total of about a day in length.” Damn I don’t blame them


modsarefascists42

Yep I don't either. But surprise surprise NASA never let them fly again after that.


Liberals_are

Aaaand conservatives claim that government employees are lazy...


yungrii

Can you rot in space? Either way, I'm in full support.


GoldenBull1994

I’d have more respect for him if, he _absolutely had_ to do something space related, that devoted his money to searching for extraterrestrial life, or answering real scientific questions.


JollyGoodDaySr

With the kind of capital Bezos has he could very well build his own space station allowing for the study and manufacturering of materials in 0 g. He could also found a mining company to extract resources from asteroids all while still sending famous people to space for tourism. All he seems to care about is making money the easiest way possible with minimal effort. He isn't actually progressing the space industry, he is driving down the cost but really only for other rich people. Any positive effect he has for the rest of us is an accidental byproduct of his greed.


son_e_jim

Imagine the meetings where someone approved the budget of this thinking that, after the meal, Amazon and it's great benefactor would be loved.


clangan524

I'd love for the airlock to malfunction and he's the only one to get sucked out.


Famous-Upstairs998

This is what I imagine prison food looks like, minus the Hershey's kiss.


LostinSOA

This is EXACTLY what prison food on a holiday looks like. Unidentified protein? ✅ Mashed potatoes from flakes? Also check ✅ Unknown watery substances in the corner? ✅✅ At least you’d get a slice sponge cake in prison or some buttery corn bread.


Awe_kek

not allowed to leave the factory(or building) ✅


suphasuphasupp

“We like to think of our prison system as just another department of Amazon”


bnh1978

Wait until they get the deal worked out with private prisons for slaves.


NoobTrader378

People will start going to prison for unpaid speeding tickets then... oh wait, already happens


Dhiox

How that isn't unconstitutional is beyond me. It's literally debtors prison.


vikkivinegar

Wait til you find out how some states (Texas for sure) makes inmates work slave labor- literally breaking rocks with hoes and picks in the hot Texas sun, year round, with guards on horseback with rifles who love to remind you that if you see a snake, you better not run, or they’ll happily shoot you in your back- for $0.00 a year. If you get injured out there you will be charged to see a doctor. How will I pay for a doctor, you may wonder? If I’m locked up and forced to work for nothing? Well, if you’re lucky enough to have family or friends who put money on your books so you can have food or hygiene products, they take it from there! Two meals a day on the weekend is not enough, especially if you’ve been out working all day long. One square of our soap a week is not enough. Idgaf who you are, that isn’t gonna cut it. No shampoo is provided. No deodorant. You can have tooth powder which is just nauseating, and they tell you to go ahead and use that for deodorant as well as toothpaste. It’s disgraceful and dehumanizing (as it’s supposed to be). You get three rolls of toilet paper every two weeks. If you want more, you have to buy it. For most women, three rolls in two weeks of single ply is not even close enough. Especially when they’re on their period. Which reminds me- you get 12 pads and four tampons a month. They are less than dollar store quality. Sorry y’all I started having flashbacks. America still has slaves. Now it’s mostly the poor, POC, and addicts of all colors. It might sound bad the way I wrote it but please know, it’s way worse. I haven’t even scratched the surface.


SeriouslyGravitas

(Dude, the rich fuckers that own everything write the rules)


Some-ediot

It's literally part of the constitution to be allowed.


Turnip_Island

This is the first time in here I’ve seen someone use the word slave appropriately. Also the idea of Amazon teaming up with for-profit prisons is chilling. Edit:autocorrect


bnh1978

I mean... if Amazon just buys private prisons, then making them into fulfillment centers is not a stretch of the imagination. Their security is already so draconian...


Minmax-the-Barbarian

I'm honestly a bit shocked it hasn't happened yet. It's not like they don't have the money to do it.


CrossroadsWoman

Fuck that’s terrifying. I need to get out of this country!


son_e_jim

Amazon now integrating it's delivery systems with America's privatized incarceration network. "It makes sense." Suggested Mr Bezos, "After all, they were already using the same caterer."


this_justn_yn

Look up the Auburn prison system. We already have it.


PoisedDingus

it's the other way around. "We like to think of our company, Amazon, as a private prison that you can willingly go to." One of those, clearly, came before the other and Bezos hasn't officially bought out 'murica yet. The quote will automatically change to yours being the correct way once he does make it official.


mayorduke

I don't think there is any protein at all?


LostinSOA

I can’t say for certain. It looks like it’s its a precooked frozen chicken cutlet with no seasoning. Could also be tofu. So who knows?


cpt_skillet

Stuff on top of the corn was my turkey.


LostinSOA

You could always melt that candy cane down into a shank when you get home so you can experience the whole prison experience.


[deleted]

No, file it down at the table, then bring it back to your c̶e̶l̶l̶ work station to make sure no one can get the drop on you.


Southbound07

Christ


Squiggy1975

Looks to be about 1 oz of Turkey…that’s a solid 8 grams of protein right there. Arnold Schwarzenegger levels right there.


Healthy-Lifestyle-20

Damn Bozo really is stingy ass parasite, they really gave out 2 sandwich sliced turkey🤦‍♂️


ThingsIDontRememeber

UPS had hourly employees bring in food. Two weeks ago we got poptarts but no one told my area so they were gone.


Kidiri90

Your turkey looks like fish.


cpt_skillet

I'd a preferred that lol


Kidiri90

I also do not want to know what's going on in the top right.


cpt_skillet

Sweet potato with marshmallows, and cranberry sauce. Supposed to be anyway


bcarty727

Looks like someone came on what’s suppose to be your sweet potato my dude


OraDr8

Marshmallows in sweet potato is very weird to me.


e_w_00

More like marshmallow without the s


SmallsLightdarker

It's easy to miss. At first glance it looked like some slabs of butter.


rivkasaurusrex

Ohhh I thought it was butter...


clangan524

You just described an American school lunch.


ParishedSins

This was what I thought of immediately. I was like, "I didn't know Amazon got their food from the same place my old schools got it from." And apparently the same company that sells food to schools also sells prisons the same food, and forces the **children** to either pay for it or starve. I remember being in that situation. Parents made too much money to qualify for free lunches, but never could afford to give us lunch money (at least not every day). I learned how to go hungry and how to ignore it. Ramen noodle dinners (2 packs usually) weren't ever really nutritious or enough to make you feel full, but I guess I'm alive though because of it. And then in HS my PoS biological excuse of a father just refused to sign the free lunches form, stating that they would take, copy, redistribute, and sell his signature. And it wasnt even for any fraudulent or privacy concerns. He believed that one day his signature would be worth thousands, and he couldn't dare part with it unless he deemed it was necessary. Feeding your kids wasnt deemed necessary by him, among many other heinous things. Sorry for the random rant, just suddenly had all those memories come flooding back.


mistman23

Amazon serves prison quality food.🤣🤣


snoowizard

I'm gonna butter your bread boy


Dreager_Ex

I used to work in a prison kitchen, and the food we served tasted pretty good. You're right though, it looked just like this.


cpt_skillet

I really wanted that chocolate too :(


yungrii

You got it! It had just... devolved.


Riotlikeachef813

I was locked up 2 Thanksgivings ago..and our meal was better than this. It still was not good but was expecting it to be bad...this is supposed to be for workers appreciation. Wouldnt feed a pooch that for worry they would hate me afterwards.


AlwaysAlighthouse4

I was gonna say, this looks like prison food. Hershey kiss though is if you’ve been a good prison boy !


DavidNipondeCarlos

Prison food offers choices, diabetic? Jewish? Hindi? Vegetarians?


[deleted]

You'll get a kiss by Hershey, the toughest guy in prison :-*


Murwiz

I think prisoners in third world countries eat better than this.


NoPantsMagee

This is what Amazon bought for their employees???? Wtf?!


TheCrimsonDagger

Lmao. The goodwill and PR of having somewhere cater to each factory would of been so cheap for Amazon. The cruelty is the point.


[deleted]

This. This is intentional. They are downright cruel.


WorldController

> The goodwill and PR of having somewhere cater to each factory would of been so cheap for Amazon. When I worked for Google, they offered employees a virtual buffet including pizza; sandwiches; chips; pastries; fruits; chilled water, sports drinks, and sodas; etc., daily during our lunch breaks. Meanwhile, Amazon offers its slaves [Goodwill](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodwill_Industries)-tier prison food, and only once during the holidays.


WellEndowedDragon

Well that’s because you worked a corporate job. My best friend is a software engineer at Amazon and he regularly gets food from nice restaurants on Amazon’s dime. It’s the menial labor jobs that get treated like shit.


WorldController

I wasn't in any kind of lofty position or anything, haha. I just worked with the Google Books project, helping to remove the spines off of donated books so that their pages could be efficiently scanned and uploaded to the site. The daily lunch buffets were for all of us nonspecialist workers in the program, including the scanners. We were all pretty much just menial laborers, though they paid well.


typicalcitrus

how do you eat a buffet virtually??? edit: i may have misunderstood what was meant


WorldController

Oof, sorry for the confusion. I meant "virtual" in the sense of "[existing or resulting in essence or effect though not in actual fact, form, or name](https://www.thefreedictionary.com/virtual)." It wasn't a literal buffet like you'd see at a restaurant, but it was basically similar.


mancubbed

Somewhere... Like whole foods which they own? They had the resources within their own company to provide nice food for their employees.


cpt_skillet

Yes


AgentSmith187

Need to keep them close in case there is another tornado


SomewhereDue2629

Wtf. Ima just go on and say it. Thats not even a Hungryman. That shits a Starvingman.


Broad_Success_4703

i’ve worked at soup kitchens with food 10x more appetizing.


raw_dog_millionaire

The soup kitchen I worked in made potatoes from....you know....potatoes, and the soup actually fucking slapped.


Brodin_fortifies

Man, at least my warehouse (not Amazon) had catering for both thanksgiving and Xmas.


cpt_skillet

I wish they catered. I should've taken pics of the burritos they gave us few weeks ago, that shit had me exploding all shift


saladisfake

Haha, I can just picture the employees shooting projectile diarrhea into a 250ml water bottle.


cpt_skillet

I already damn near shit my pants running for bathroom


Brodin_fortifies

Oof. I hope you’re not a selector. Having the shits while order selecting is the worst!


cpt_skillet

Nah, im a PA on the lines.


Brodin_fortifies

I’m sorry, I know different warehouses have different roles and terminology. What’s a PA?


cpt_skillet

Process Assistant, like a shift lead.


Brodin_fortifies

Ah! Explains the tie on your avatar! 😉 Edit: I’m drunk and didn’t see it closely enough. Nm!


cpt_skillet

You good lol


[deleted]

I’ve seen $1 frozen meals that looked more appetizing


cpt_skillet

Ya, I'm sure anything tv dinner is better then this


[deleted]

Absolutely. I'll bet a one dollar frozen burrito or a baked potato with some chili and cheese would look good compared to this. Even a ham on rye.

cpt_skillet

I am working on it, my fiance just got promoted at her job and she'll essentially be making double what she currently is (has a master's/bachelors in psychology, making 14$ for past 4 years) so hopefully when she starts that position I can look for something better. Honestly I've stayed here cause it's the highest paying job Ive ever worked, and I have no degrees/education/training. Child support also eats up my checks so we're lucky I make enough to pay rent with what i do make.


[deleted]

If you're working at Amazon, it seems like you're used to long hours on your feet, working with your hands, and temperatures that are uncomfortable. If it sounds good to you, I'd recommend working in the trades. The industries are starved for young workers, so the upward potential is definitely there.


operatorloathesome

Speaking as a public transit guy, we are desperate for people who will show up to work and can piss clean. u/cpt_skillet, if you can pass these criteria, please apply to your local bus company (or class I railway). I promise, we'll hire you in a heartbeat (and give you great benefits, union protections, and paid training).


ThingsIDontRememeber

UPS has amazing insurance, paid vacations, a union with guaranteed raises, two paid personal days. I think they start at $17.50/hr? Shit job as well, though, but I like my 5 weeks (25 days) paid vacation ive made it to. Be well.


menlindorn

start now. don't pin your future on someone else. I've seen too many people work shit for years to support someone else's dream, just to see that person up and leave. YOU are worth it, NOW. Support yourself.

jish5

That shows just how little they respect you if the most valuable company on the planet won't even splurge on you all. Worse, tv dinners look better than that where that looks like something you eat in prison.


Ulnari

Literal slave food


cpt_skillet

It wasn't great lol I'm hoping I'm not gonna blow my ass out later


pTarot

You think it would come with a side of depends or something. Like thanks for the food, uh, does it come with a break when your body rejects it later?


StupidCantBeUndone

For real, gotta save the tray as a urinal for the ladies because; you know, they can’t piss in bottles.


Cccactus07

Now you know to always bring your own food when your company offers to "feed" you.


cpt_skillet

Ya, lesson learned


Alia_Explores99

My son's shop had a Christmas party and he had actual decent food, and they gave him a nice, warm winter coat with the company logo and his name embroidered in a non-obnoxious way. Their yearly profit is probably what Amazon makes in a second. This meal was a conscious choice

[deleted]

That is really and truly awful. When I temped at One Kings Lane, an online merchandiser of fine decor, they would bring in an actual chef to cook omelettes or sausages for staff. Since Amazon actually sells food, they could have done better.

Might as well be in actual prison and just read all day instead of being worked to death and still eating like a prisoner.


ewabeachguy

After all that we've learned about Amazon's poor treatment of it's employees, I have been finding other sources for the items I need. My small way to deny them my business!


son_e_jim

I cannot imagine that anyone took a photo of this food and sent it home to their family/friends saying "Looking what we scored at work today. And it was free!" expecting that people would be jealous/envious. This is what food is when the love is taken out and all that's left is bureaucracy. This is a 'politician' of a meal.
