I had a globally unique position in my company and my workload doubled during the Covid lockdown. I was unable to have a week off for over 18 months, my reward for all my effort was to be fired at the end of 2022 which tbh probably saved my life. I still haven't fully recovered or found a permanent job

I used to work at a non-profit. They are notorious for not offering benefits. When we brought this up with a board member, he stated that we had a benefit because, "You have air conditioning." I am not kidding. The thing is, the non-profit didn't even own the building. It was owned by the town, which also paid the utilities. So the non-profit didn't even pay for said A/C. Still my favorite, "You have got to be kidding me" moment.

I worked for a company where smokers were not allowed to smoke at their desks but had a 5 minute smoking break outside every hour. Of course 5 minutes became 10 minutes so a whole hour smoking each day. Us non-smokers did not qualify so we started having 5 minute non-smoking breaks outside. Management were not happy with us and challenged us. The challenge failed and we got an additional 5 minutes off every hour for not smoking.

A friend of mine worked at a place where this happened. But, every time someone would go on a smoke break, the others would go as well. She had an embroidered ball cap made that read: "I'm on my non-smoker's smoke break" She got written up for insubordination.

Years ago I was on a project that had an unrealistic deadline. Everyone was working long hours, coming in on weekends, and we got the project done and with good quality. A few days later there's an announcement over the office loudspeaker (we didn't even know there was one) saying "in appreciation for all the hard work over the past 3 months we'd like everyone to gather in the break room". We were thinking maybe a bonus, some time off. But no, the "thank you" was a big bag of popcorn. Split between about 30 people that came to about half a cup per person.

After 10 years with my company , I got a pen with my name inscribed on it. Then, after 15 years, the company went through restructuring and I had my pay cut by 2/3, but they "allowed" me to keep my job. I was consistently denied my requested to time and I had accumulated 15 weeks. When I handed in my resignation, they said that pto time was a gift from the company, and they were not obligated to pay me any of it. But hey, they sent out a "roar" which is an email compliment, roaring to my team mates about all of the great service and hard work I provided for the company. Something to treasure as I stand in the benefits line. Lol

I used to work for a company where we were paid a base salary plus a bonus based on our performance against an industry benchmark. One year we should have had a 32% bonus, but the boss manipulated things to show that we were actually below our benchmark, so no bonus. However, we all got $100 gift certificates at the local book store. One of my friends, who did not work there, remarked “that’s the gift that keeps on giving.”

Woo Hoo! 🙄) because other co-workers had told me they got one for their 25 year anniversary. But when I inquired with HR about it, I was told that the program had been discontinued in January 2024. No formal announcement had ever been made advising employees that the policy was discontinued.

Oh dear. It's appalling that NHS staff need to pay for parking at a job where they actually directly or indirectly save people's lives. To me it's literally like charging you so that the car that brought you to work can sit on a small square of land. It's like charging you to put your purse in your own locker or to hang your coat in the changing room. What's next? You get service charge to occupy the chair and table space to eat in the canteen or the use of the microwave? 🤯

My daughter’s workplace supposedly had a mental health counselling provider. She thought she would access it, as well as contacting her GP,during a period of work induced anxiety and stress. The provider details on the company intranet were out of date, they said oh sorry we can’t help. (To be fair to the person on the phone they did try to gauge whether she was in urgent need of assistance). Left my daughter to decide whether to let HR know they had stuffed up thereby divulging she had tried to access the “benefit”.

At the large telecom I worked at employees could be given Quality awards by managers, including one from other areas. My manager made a big deal out of presenting them during his daily (torture the) staff meetings. It was a certificate and a $100 check. One day he presented several. When it ended, and i was back at my cubicle he came up to me, threw an envelope at me and said, "this is yours". I opened the envelope, took out the check and tossed the rest in the trash.. and said "gee thanks". He disliked me that much. He stormed off. I fished out the certificate so I could thank the person who did it. Found out the other manager had given me several and my manager had refused to give them to me. The other manager had to go to HR and force the issue.

One of my colleagues was a favourite of one stooge and he got a really nice gift. He described it as "we've had those at home before and they're very useful" over a teams meeting. The stooge said something to pretty much shut him up because I was sent an artisanal biscuit that was on offer for 3 bucks when i looked it up.. i asked how an artisanal buscuit was useful.. but he didnt answer. I asked the colleague some months after but he tried to gasslight. The stooge and the favourite could never work weekends so i was always the one that was told i had to.. i am glad i dont work with those aholes anymore.

The last one may not be as bad (maybe) if their office is in Nottingham. We have a workplace parking levy from the council where companies are billed for every parking space they have and a lot of smaller companies ended up charging their staff who wanted to drive to work. It sucks to pass that bill along but imagine a company renting an office so they have no choice on how big the car park is getting charged £500 a year per space. Also the point of the levy was to get people to use public transport or bikes so I think the original plan was to pass this charge onto staff because if the company paid it then people wouldn't notice the extra charge and continue to drive ...

One "benefit" offered by my company is a shopping website where you can buy consumer goods (computers, televisions, kitchen gadgets, etc...) for twice the normal price, but have the cost deducted in installments from your paycheck. It is obviously a "branded" third party site that allows them to make a profit from sales to employees by partnering with this site, but it is listed as a "benefit". Some employees not as financially savvy think it's a good deal, not realizing these installments are equivalent to paying 100% interest on the normal price of these items.

We get a taxable health benefit which you can claim money back on. The problem is that most of the things listed you are highly unlikey to claim for such as being admitted to hospital. I could claim for my eye tests but I don't have to pay for them and I generally only buy glasses every three years or so. I do claim for my dental check up but that amount is less than what I pay in tax for this benifit. We also have discounted gym membership, my nearest is 40ish miles away, and discounted Costco membership again 40+miles away.

My son works 2nd shift at his company. At Christmas, the boss baters in a lunch for the staff, at 11am. which then sits out all day so by the time night shift comes at 4pm no one dares to eat it.

I worked midnight shift by myself at a very sketchy company. The only time someone else was there was if they sent me someone to train. Never even got a slice of cold pizza left in the fridge when they had company lunches. Of course I was invited to actually come to lunch at noon, but I got off at 8:30am and had an hour drive each way. So no, I was not driving an hour home, sitting for an hour or so, then driving back into the office, using my own fuel, of course, to get a "free" lunch. Would have come to four hours of driving in a day, and I'm not completely mental, tyvm.

At my work there are people who prepare plates, labeled, and put in the fridge for people who miss the catered lunches. The idea of leaving it out for hours is disturbing.

To be fair, in lots of Europe, that's something worth mentioning. "Hot and cold running water" was the one that used to get me. Not seen that since at least the 80s though. The worst one was when they used to charge you for wifi. Let me get this straight. You can afford to put a TV in every room in the hotel, but you're going to charge us to use that little box that you only need one of per floor?

For a Christmas bonus one year us floor workers were given a company cookbook with all the managers favourite recipe's in it. The kicker? The books were for the corporate customers but because they had extras we got given them. I used it for years to put a face to a name at redundancy times.

For my great 5 years service in one of the leading companies worldwide, and after being blocked from promotion twice for the lamest reasons throughthoseyears, I got a full 15$ coupon as a thank you gift, and the added task of training a couple of new hires as I am a great seasoned manager, let's say my answer was not very PC 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️😖😖
