Company Ends Up Spending $65/Week More After Not Listening To Employee’s Reasoning On Meal Limits

What do you do when your boss puts their foot down? You comply. Maliciously. Recently, redditor u/cricketrocks shared the way they got back at their boss for limiting their food expenses. The situation was pretty good for both the company and the employee, but the new project manager probably felt the need to establish themselves. They reduced the amount u/cricketrocks could spend on food, thinking it would save the company money, but the move totally backfired. Instead of claiming £150 a week for meals, u/cricketrocks is now cashing £200.

Do you smell that? I think the HR people are brewing their coffee for a new meeting.

I'm a visual editor at Bored Panda. I kickstart my day with a mug of coffee bigger than my head, ready to tackle Photoshop. I navigate through the digital jungle with finesse, fueled by bamboo breaks and caffeine kicks.

This is why we shouldn't press Bored Panda to be able to follow people. I agree 100% with Burk Billen on this. Not as much on other stuff.

So you’re given free food for the day and want to complain. I wish my job gave me free food

All you got out of this is "You have it better than me so you can't complain"? I hope the next person you encounter who makes less than you do tells you you can't complain anymore.
