Free lunch by managers
    #27940354 - 09/08/22 12:55 PM (1 year, 4 months ago)

Had a few jobs when I was young. 18-23 or so.

I was making minimum wage. And a manager from another site comes to my site and takes me to help them with something.

Maybe just drive a truck from one place to another.  Something basic like that but it requires two people. So we take his personal vehicle, get somewhere, I drive the truck he drives his vehicle to wherever he needs the truck.

I do this three or four times. And that's what I do that day instead of my normal shitty job cleaning trucks and trailers and shit.



But something always happened. The manager would always take me out to a restaurant in the middle of the day. And he would pay for both of us.


I'm 31 now. But it just randomly crossed my mind.


What's the deal with this?

Was the company paying for this meal? Was it their personal money? Was this just an excuse for them to eat a good meal?





I remember being so broke at the time that it totally made my day. I never went to restaurants. Except when my parents were in town.



Crazy to think about how poor I used to be. Jesus Christ I was on 7.25? dollars an hour back then. This is..... 2012? And minimum wage is 7.35 now. Ten years later. Fucking a. God help the poor bastards on minimum wage out there.

That is pretty strange. Maybe the manager was lonely or just had a lot of money to blow?

:strokebeard:

That was a pity lunch my dude. I buy em all the time for employees. It was more than likely the manager looked at you and thought you were worth more than you were getting paid and he was getting paid a lot more so he bought you lunch.
Pay it forward.

But why not give the employee a raise? Why the "pity lunch" instead...

Pity lunch $10-$20, $1 raise could cost $4000 or more a year.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Second law of thermodynamics.
