Well you are value…-able. I mean without your continued efforts at taking on workloads too high for the amount staff and while doing so for rock bottom that boss wouldn’t be recording nearly so much profit. You see, you’re very important. Thanks so much guys. We’ll have a pizza party after I’m back from vacation.
As a pizza guy, I hate delivering those pizza parties. It’s always a $300-500 order with a bunch of extra shit and 9 times out of 10, no tip whatsoever. They disrupt normal order flow too so other orders take longer which pisses those customers off so they tip less too.
Fuck corporate pizza parties.
These orders come in advance, right? So if you plan them in advance, they shouldn’t disrupt the order flow.
Most of the time they are maybe an hour or two in advance, which is not enough time to prepare. Also there’s really no way a 35-40 pizza scheduled for lunch time won’t be disruptive no matter how much you prepare
Show me on the doll which of the big box retailers pizza partied you bro, it’s ok it’s the first step to healing.

My teamlead is a fucking great guy. He doesn’t get to make these decisions either, he just carries them out.
Most of us are well aware at what rank our “enemies” reside and it’s seldom on the same workfloor.
This works out really well for upper management. They know full well that you know that your team lead doesn’t make the decision to understaff, which they hope will guilt their contributors into staying instead of piling more shit on the blameless boss’s plate when they leave.
The employees on my team are, for the most part, not treated well by the company. Shitty practices like categorizing them as ‘contractors’ and consistently underpaying them. I do what I can, including commiserating with them and letting them know that I appreciate them. I also try to buy them lunch any chance I get - even though I get that it really isn’t the same as true compensation. That said, most people on my team have been with the company for over 20 years… I’ve only been with the company for 6 months. I try, but sometimes find it hard to maintain sympathy when they refuse to seek better employment.
I see these, and think: Yes, you are valued, because you still work here even though you are underpayed and overworked. Imagine buisnesses would run out of employees like that! Pure Chaos!
Exactly. You’re valuable because you continue working for them without complaint even knowing that you earn them orders of magnitude more money than they have to pay you.
I’m decidedly and purposefully average at my job and get confused when praised. Please don’t promote me… just forget I’m here. 😓
I hate to be the one to say it but your well on your way to failing up…I’ve seen it many times
Nah, I’ve been useless at my job for almost a decade but no promotions.
Something something Peter Principle
