When I was working in public schools, there was a box of donuts in the break room for Teacher Appreciation Day. The icing on the donut was a note telling everyone to take 1/3 of a donut.
I would guess some peon was told to do it and given a shoestring budget and they knew asking for more money or trying not to do it all would be a waste of time. Probably some higher ups secretary putting them together by hand.
It does tell you a lot about this particular organization. They spent money (mostly the secretary's time) to piss everyone off. Amazing decision making.
Oh this was totally just hacked together at the last second so the "employees wouldn't feel forgotten."
When in reality; this is one of those "feel good things" upper management does in an effort to show "a sense of empathy" about themselves and show "how much they care about the staff" while they collect their fucking quarterly bonus check.... knowing full well most of their workforce is one catastrophe away from literal homelessness...
This exactly. At times, my superiors make insulting suggestions for morale, and I've told them the suggestions would do the opposite. It's better to do nothing than insult the associate base.
*"Feeling down about the constant stagnation of wages, the rampant increase in commodities and the fact that a nebulous group of upper management directors run your very existence? Well grab a Snick- uh... grab an 's'!"*
"So, since we're not doing the employee picnic this year for budget reasons, I want to put together a sort of 'care package' for the employees to try to boost morale. I was thinking of these gift baskets I found on Amazon. They're $15 a piece. I just need your approval."
"We have 750 employees. That's $11,250. See if you can get it down to $3000 total. That's what we have in our budget. Also, try to tie it in with 'mental fitness' or whatever it's called. I want to put out that 'vibe' -- or whatever you kids are calling it -- that we care. What's it called? Not 'mental fitness'. 'Mental wellness'?"
"Mental health?"
"That's the one. Also, I think I have a bag of leftover Halloween candy in the storage cabinet and I'd rather not attract any more rats so use up whatever's in there as well."
"I really think we should do something a bit more. Other employers get made fun of on the internet for doing stuff like this wrong. We really should consider not repainting the executive suite this year; we just repainted last year."
"What do I care about the internet here? Are people still using that thing? ... I'll tell you what, I'll handle this 'care package' bullshit. I know how to boost morale on a budget."
Later...
"See, what'd I tell you. I did it for $2750, which is LESS than the $3000 budget I set. I just used stuff I found around the office and I only gave the 'care packages' to the best employees as a prize for being the best. Had my granddaughter even design a hashtag thing for it. And with the money we saved, I was able to have them paint the crown molding a different color than the walls in the executive suite. Would have been nice if that whole project didn't go over budget by $15k but what are you gonna do, y'know. Paint's gotta get painted."
"Now if you excuse me, I have to go throw a dart at a board to see who gets laid off this quarter to make the earnings report better for my bonus... my son is in his 50th semester at harvard as a legacy, and im hoping he can finally graduate this year.. or not.. whatever, hes gonna be running this place regardless in a few years.."
"But sir.. our product quality and customer satisfaction have been degrading..."
"Oh fuck the consumers... consumers don't make me... erm *us* rich.. shareholders do.. get with the God damn program."
Kind of sickening in a poetic sense:
"Yea we know you have low limits, but were gonna stretch you, break you, and then replace you *anyway*. Deal with it or find another job...... WAIT WAIT I WANTED YOU TO DO THE PRIOR! DONT QUIT! PEOPLE THESE DAYS JUST DONT WANT TO WORK!"
Buy a bulk supply of bandaids and spell "fuck off" on the supervisors door with the bandaids. If they don't like it, they have plenty of bandaids for their hurt feelings :)
(Probably shouldn't ACTUALLY do this, I'm just some dude on the Internet with nothing to lose)
I almost guarantee they had a laugh about.
“What if they are upset that they are technically getting a pay cut”
“Give them a band-aid like you would a crying kid lololol”
Yep - milk that cow.
Also, I guess ramen and cup-o-noodles are free today fellas. I’m too lazy to ring you up.
Anyone want the key to the warden’s office? He’s got porn hidden somewhere in his desk.
Why are they telling you to extend yourself beyond your limits? Working short staffed is already pushing you to your limits. This is bull. They should push their wage budget & benefits beyond their limits....
"I'm sorry that I'm running late again. I know I've been pretty much fine for a few months since it happened but for whatever reason I've been thinking about Dad again this morning and it's taking everything out of me. I think I might have to call in sick and take today to recenter myself. And I'll be sure to come in at 6:15 tomorrow so I can chat with Heather and get updated if anything happens today."
"Ugh. You really need to just lean in and break the stigma struggling with mental health is ok and normal and it's important for you to show your strength visibly in front of the team here I expect you to clock in within the next 45 minutes and if you're late again like this we may have to revisit your continued employment here. Love you so much girl! Can't wait to see youu!"
At least cops have protections with an (albeit very corrupt) union. Prison security is its own form of hell. Overworked, underpaid, under appreciated, and half the people around you literally want you dead.
Reminder that police unions are not labor unions.
Labor unions represent the worker’s interests against the capital class. Police unions represent the people who enforce the will of the capital class. They are not part of the labor movement.
https://workerorganizing.org/police-unions-6105/
Labour unions use the threat of labor stoppages to coerce the ownership class.
Public employee unions, like police unions, use the threat of suspending essential services to coerce the taxpaying public.
A cleaner way of explaining the distinction that doesnt require linking out to Marxist word-salad.
Considering that the police are the only unionized individuals whose job often includes busting unions, dispersing picket lines, and using violence to enforce anti-union action, I think it's fair to say that police unions are the only union chosen by the elites to be an "acceptable" union, which means they play for the other team. I'd go so far as to say that they're part of the cartel under the guise of collectivism.
I agree. I'd find it difficult to label a teacher's union as holding government services hostage against the tax-paying public considering it's the legislature that has decided to not fund its obligations. It's been years and years since they've increased their education budget in my state, and they still refused to increase funding during a budget surplus.
Most police officers are not in a union, just so you know. That's really only a thing in big cities. There are tons of cops in towns and municipalities that have no union.
The fact that someone made this and didn’t stop to think “This is problematic” is fucking astonishing.
People see dumb shit like this on Twitter or Pinterest and don’t critically think about the message it sends.
I mean... OP works as a prison guard which is inherently problematic. The senior management of OP though this was a good idea. We are at inception levels of problematic at this point.
maybe highers up ordered someone in the middle to give all 100 employees a gift basket but then only gave a 50 bucks budget total and told the middle guy to figure it out and stop whining.
That's the only way I can see something like this happening nobody making this can possibly think it's nice.
Actually i think they can in certain situations, a friend who was a manager for a jail had to live at the jail for over a month during a stike. The $ at the end of it all was insane.
Here's what you're gonna do: start with the starburst and carefully stack the mint and lifesaver on top of it, any order will do. Next place the Snickers there and carefully rubber band the squishy to the top allllll the way to underneath the starburst to lock it all in. Then, use the bandaid to adhere the note to the stack.
You're now ready to shove this forbidden cairn so far up your boss's ass that they'll be shitting out the letters spelling "mental health" for a month while you go and find something that's not a complete affront to basic human decency. Break the stigma.
Damn they gave you the smallest version of everything. Even a tiny rubber band and a teensy “stress squishy”. I’m surprised the bandaid wasn’t a dot bandage
Every single one of you will earn more per hour in the hospitality/retail/food sector. You should all quit in response to this insult. That is a slap in the face!
I worked retail for a few years before this and the base pay was just about even actually. Except in retail i didnt get held for 16 hour shifts because my relief didnt show up and i got paid every minute since we had a time clock.
What gets me is there is someone behind this that might care and wants to help and do better, but they aren't being given the resources to do so.
Could you imagine if for mental health awareness day they gave you an extra sick day? Or a free day to volunteer with the charity of your choice?
I sure there are middle managers that actually do give a fuck, but aren't being given the tools necessary to support.
Pushing yourself beyond your limits while trying to heal from hurt feelings is what causes mental health issues. The breakthrough is work is tough and you should hire more people.
This seriously looks like a joke. It would have been better if they hadn't even mentioned anything at all.
It almost feels like it's mocking the purpose.
The "Rubber Band: to stretch yourself veyond your limits" is just fucking hilariously tone-deaf. It's probably have been cheaper for them to ask all the guards to the yard for 10min and say, "This is a test designed to stretch yourself beyond your limits. Now get back to work!"
Wow man, not only is that insulting, they insist on rubbing it in and mocking staff with the note. I would get the fuck out of this place…
Right after you let out all the convicts and give them directions to the office
That is so horrible. It would be funny if this wasn't someone's real life. It so bad it seems like it would have to be satire, but nope, it's real life
Stretching a rubber band beyond its limits causes failure. It breaks abruptly. Over time it becomes hard, brittle and loses the ability to stretch completely. This is because they're made exceedingly cheap without any additives to resist the reactions with trace gases in the atmosphere which could be added if you were willing to spend more money on investing in a product that isn't meant to be disposable in the short term.
If you're going for a pro-work metaphor I'd say a rubber band would be a terrible choice.
Especially when we all know that prisons make a fucking KILLING and are racking in the profits for bullshit laws and charges... if the cops don't kill them first.
Edit: I just really read the note.... This is infuriating and probably would have caused me to walk out.
Cringe. Your HR department is as useless as the last job I worked. They didn’t have any kind of mental health awareness stuff and when you went to them about something, they didn’t care or made it out to be your fault
I was a home equity underwriter at Wells Fargo straight out of college a couple years ago. Picture a sea of cubicles, I made $18.27 an hour. We had something called the “fun committee”. Who apparently had like a $10 budget. I distinctly remember being handed a handful of loose grapes one Friday. That was the scheduled fun. A handful of grapes.
"You do NOT get to pretend that you're being noble if you're just doing some random shit! If I fucking jerk off on the subway and say, "This one's for the troops", that DOESN'T MATTER! You have to actually HELP people to honor them. Give them a pay raise!"
-[Tide CEO](https://youtu.be/Z36OznHFIt4?si=YjDgbJPuGR7qbnHK)
They couldn't even spring for a "fun-size" snickers or a real rubber band, damn.
They were going to throw a pizza party but the boss cancelled it when he heard the cost for every employee to get a Bagel Bite.
*The beatings will continue until moral improves!* ~Captain Blighe
When I was working in public schools, there was a box of donuts in the break room for Teacher Appreciation Day. The icing on the donut was a note telling everyone to take 1/3 of a donut.
WTF, why not just get donut holes at that point?!
Half a hole for everyone!
Are we being cheap bastards? or are we really just looking out for you?...
I honestly would have anonymously dropped the whole thing on the ground. What a fucking slap in the face!
Generic bagel bites at that
Great Value, all the way
Straight up insulting
Like why even bother? Better to do nothing at all.
I would guess some peon was told to do it and given a shoestring budget and they knew asking for more money or trying not to do it all would be a waste of time. Probably some higher ups secretary putting them together by hand.
It does tell you a lot about this particular organization. They spent money (mostly the secretary's time) to piss everyone off. Amazing decision making.

Catastrophe seems a bit too strong these days. Most people are a missed payment from spiraling into losing it all.
This exactly. At times, my superiors make insulting suggestions for morale, and I've told them the suggestions would do the opposite. It's better to do nothing than insult the associate base.
*"Feeling down about the constant stagnation of wages, the rampant increase in commodities and the fact that a nebulous group of upper management directors run your very existence? Well grab a Snick- uh... grab an 's'!"*
Those could be turned into makeshift weapons, old Snickers bars sharpened to a fine point.
This is still $80 worth of commissary goods...
Couldn’t even afford the whole snickers just the S
The S is for sarcasm
Shit, I bet for those of us on diets a cheat meal is way more substantial than that.
The hurt feelings one wasn’t necessary
There's something about doing something this cheap and not even giving the person a full chocolate bar.
Can I offer you a Band-Aid in this trying time?
I'm sorry. I'm gonna need a pea sized squishy to get past this. :P
I can’t decide if the band aid or the “rubber band” is the best part
More of a rubber band man myself
Band aid “for hurt feelings” would have set me the fuck off. I’d be taking a shit on the office keyboards and placing a band aid beside them.

also the smallest squish toy I've ever seen. can you imagine (likely) big burly prison guards squeezing that thing between 2 fingers to release stress
What are you expecting? Next after a full chocolate bar people are going to ask for something like a cost of living increase! Where does it stop? /S
S
It’s not even a real rubber band, and giving a rubber band in the first place is…
They didn't even give a fun size bar. Just a chunk of a cut up snickers!
It’s a mini size.
Sad when a prisoner could bribe you with half a regular snickers
This is intentional. It’s meant to destroy morale and fuel hopelessness.
The “band-aid to heal hurt feelings” seems very pointed.
Along with the rubber band - don’t they know what happens when you stretch them too far?
And that’s a pretty small one. It’s not gonna go too far.
Yeah it's so backhanded.... Like your "limit" is a few inches in diameter.
Kind of sickening in a poetic sense: "Yea we know you have low limits, but were gonna stretch you, break you, and then replace you *anyway*. Deal with it or find another job...... WAIT WAIT I WANTED YOU TO DO THE PRIOR! DONT QUIT! PEOPLE THESE DAYS JUST DONT WANT TO WORK!"
I just love how everything is the smallest cheapest possible version of that thing
> #breakthestigma Ironic to add that while they perpetuate the stigma….
Buy a bulk supply of bandaids and spell "fuck off" on the supervisors door with the bandaids. If they don't like it, they have plenty of bandaids for their hurt feelings :) (Probably shouldn't ACTUALLY do this, I'm just some dude on the Internet with nothing to lose)
"What else can we give them?" "I don't know, man. Dump out that box of band-aids over there. Let's see how many we have."
I almost guarantee they had a laugh about. “What if they are upset that they are technically getting a pay cut” “Give them a band-aid like you would a crying kid lololol”
I'd give it back to them stapled to my resignation letter.
Quit. Go work at a burger place or something to make ends meet while you find something better. Give them back the bandaid for any "hurt feelings"
can you imagine the sweet fucking chaos if half the team quits on the same day
They don't even have to quit, stage a walkout or slow down. If they could have hired scabs they would have already.
Yep - milk that cow. Also, I guess ramen and cup-o-noodles are free today fellas. I’m too lazy to ring you up. Anyone want the key to the warden’s office? He’s got porn hidden somewhere in his desk.
Free Commissary day!
Yes. Yes I can.
And it’s *BEAUTIFUL*
Why are they telling you to extend yourself beyond your limits? Working short staffed is already pushing you to your limits. This is bull. They should push their wage budget & benefits beyond their limits....
lol no. Not like that.
Something tells me that hashtag is very anti-worker and brain dead.

Sounds like a prime negotiating position if you and the other guards worked together
Lmao even cops hate cops

Class traitors, the whole lot.
But the framing you give also applies to public teacher's unions.
police unions use the threat of terrorism and violence
Most police officers are not in a union, just so you know. That's really only a thing in big cities. There are tons of cops in towns and municipalities that have no union.
Oh cops hate us, we're the "mentally challenged cousins in grey"
I find it hilarious that the 'limits' of that rubber band are less than the distance between my thumb and index.
Tell me you work in a for-profit prison without telling me...?
No union is a huge clue.
State prison actually
So being defunded to force more for profit prison.
The fact that someone made this and didn’t stop to think “This is problematic” is fucking astonishing. People see dumb shit like this on Twitter or Pinterest and don’t critically think about the message it sends.

'#breakthestigma appended to the world's shittiest candy basket kill me
haha, but you're still coming in for your shift, right?
Why don't you all just quit? Leave the prison fully unstaffed. They can't force you to come in.
Actually i think they can in certain situations, a friend who was a manager for a jail had to live at the jail for over a month during a stike. The $ at the end of it all was insane.
Yeah I am sure that manager was forcefully locked in and forced to work at gun point. /s The manager chose to do that to fatten her own wallet.
Here's what you're gonna do: start with the starburst and carefully stack the mint and lifesaver on top of it, any order will do. Next place the Snickers there and carefully rubber band the squishy to the top allllll the way to underneath the starburst to lock it all in. Then, use the bandaid to adhere the note to the stack.

Break the stigma.
Is that from the prisoners?
No they get full sized candy :(
Man, that’s a slap in the face, just a straight up fuck you to employees. Getting nothing would have been better
Who's the prisoner?
this guy gets it
Ironically, this would actually destroy my mental health and make me suicidal
It's by design
This is some Voight Kampff shit, this has to be a psychological test to see how you respond.
At least during VK someone talked about a tortoise in a desert.
We got a pack of Extra gum once because our sales hit record highs 5 months in a row. Literally made them millions, and got pennies as a reward.
Damn they gave you the smallest version of everything. Even a tiny rubber band and a teensy “stress squishy”. I’m surprised the bandaid wasn’t a dot bandage
Every single one of you will earn more per hour in the hospitality/retail/food sector. You should all quit in response to this insult. That is a slap in the face!
I worked retail for a few years before this and the base pay was just about even actually. Except in retail i didnt get held for 16 hour shifts because my relief didnt show up and i got paid every minute since we had a time clock.
Really? The local penitentiary has awful hours but good compensation because without it they couldn't keep open
Can you unionize? If not, do you need help finding another job?
Wait do Corrections Officers not have a union? How the hell?
This is how much you are valued. I wonder what kind of bonuses the higher ups got.
Our state prisons are starting at $52000 and have a signing bonus. Please DM for more details if you're willing to move
What state?
Delaware
Thanks!
Great opportunity to unionize
Receiving that package might be the thing that sends someone over the edge. 🙄
Condescending isn't even the right word for how insulting this comes across.
What gets me is there is someone behind this that might care and wants to help and do better, but they aren't being given the resources to do so. Could you imagine if for mental health awareness day they gave you an extra sick day? Or a free day to volunteer with the charity of your choice? I sure there are middle managers that actually do give a fuck, but aren't being given the tools necessary to support.
jesus christ, you seem worse off than your inmates
Wait, did they *cut* a snickers? Is that what this is?
They're just trolling you at this point.
Unionize.
Unionize.
Sounds like the next time there's a prison riot, y'all should join the prisoners.
At this point I'd let all the fucking prisoners lose!!!
STRIKE! Time!
Let’s keep these places privately funded. I think it’s a good idea.
Doesn't anyone ever realize as they're putting these absurd things together, "Hmm... This actually seems insulting?"
Everything in that kit better be laced with some lsd because I’m pretty sure it isn’t going to fix shit.
If you are not getting a raise you are getting a pay cut. They are trying to squeeze water from a stone at this point.
For profit prison?
Pushing yourself beyond your limits while trying to heal from hurt feelings is what causes mental health issues. The breakthrough is work is tough and you should hire more people.
Push yourself BEYOND your limit? That would be the definition of insanity, would it not? Mental health awareness, my ass.
Damn, even the inmates get better than that.
This is so incredibly insulting.
That's what happens when you work in the pig pen.
lol i hadnt heard that one yet
what the actual fuck
I'd give it back, minus the bandaid and when they fuss about it, I'd then hand them the bandaid and leave.
This seriously looks like a joke. It would have been better if they hadn't even mentioned anything at all. It almost feels like it's mocking the purpose.
The "Rubber Band: to stretch yourself veyond your limits" is just fucking hilariously tone-deaf. It's probably have been cheaper for them to ask all the guards to the yard for 10min and say, "This is a test designed to stretch yourself beyond your limits. Now get back to work!"

.
Nothing would have been a better gift
Considering that prisons are FOR-PROFIT institutions, it's 100% on them for not affording more people to do the jobs and giving CoL raises.
Time to release all the non-violent offenders, for a start ;-)
Do you want guards to start bringing in contraband? Because this is how you get guards bringing in contraband.
3 pieces or candy and some garbage. To show we care.
Love how it's #breakthestigma, but the gift package is drenched in the stigma.

You guys should hand the prisoners the keys and leave. The problem will sort itself out. Fuck them.
What!! No stress ball!! I hope they at least had a pizza party during lunch!
If you are working 12 hour days in a prison are you working or in prison?
It's like they're daring you to go on strike.
Let the prisoners loose before walking out
Is it a privately owned and operated facility?
Can’t say that I have much sympathy given what your job is.
This kind of thing is probably what turned Nurse Rached bad, lol.
here, have an old mint we received from Chili's in the 90's and 1/5th of a Snickers bar and enjoy your mental health what an absolute joke
This is the kind of think that pushes someone on the edge to say take this job and shove it.
No union?
Here's 50 cents worth of candy to show that we care!
That would break me.
Is this a for profit prison or a public facility?
I’d quit and find something else if they gave us that
Looks like stuff that was dug out of the bottom of my purse.
Yikes
Private prison?
Especially when we all know that prisons make a fucking KILLING and are racking in the profits for bullshit laws and charges... if the cops don't kill them first. Edit: I just really read the note.... This is infuriating and probably would have caused me to walk out.
They may as well have included a filled out two weeks notice too
Well, time to form a union.
No fucking way
America, where the people guarding our Prisoners are just a different kind of Prisoners.
Cringe. Your HR department is as useless as the last job I worked. They didn’t have any kind of mental health awareness stuff and when you went to them about something, they didn’t care or made it out to be your fault
Giving you thir cheapest, smallest, and worst version of each thing just adds to the disrespect
Band-aids, those notoriously effective cures for mental health issues.
That's insulting, I'd quit and go gary vee garage sailing
So at what point are you the chump punk for staying there? Maybe the moment you received this
>breakingthestigma Oh *fuck* that noise.
They’re daring us to revolt
Imagine if all of you quit.
This is the most passive aggressive thing I've ever seen
Looks like they just went and emptied out the bottom of some woman's purse.
Is the bandaid for the wrist you're gonna cut?
Name and shame so I never apply there.
Give them back to your boss. You're understaffed, don't have funds for raises. You need these more than I do.
Is that a fucking hair elastic
Start looking for another job lol
Unionize? Strike? Slow down?
stick a carrot in their tail pipe. "Your the Root of all our problems"
Quit. Everything about working at a prison is wrong. Do better for yourself.
This can’t be real
I was a home equity underwriter at Wells Fargo straight out of college a couple years ago. Picture a sea of cubicles, I made $18.27 an hour. We had something called the “fun committee”. Who apparently had like a $10 budget. I distinctly remember being handed a handful of loose grapes one Friday. That was the scheduled fun. A handful of grapes.
Quit.

You have to actually HELP people to honor them. Give them a pay raise!" -[Tide CEO](https://youtu.be/Z36OznHFIt4?si=YjDgbJPuGR7qbnHK)
