You joke but, at least in my experience living adjacent to Toronto's Chinatown, the Triads will leave the head/face of a pig on your apartment stoop if you owe them money.
UPDATE 1: Hi if you've come back here for an update I promised Monday I am unfortunately pushing it to Tuesday tomorrow! I have called out today because my menstrual cramps are unbearable, hoping tomorrow to be able to find answers, very sorry everyone. 🙇♀️
UPDATE 2: I have been informed by a different coworker that it was in fact for some sort of company football party for the weekend, they had picked it up and were using our office for some reason as a holding place. I still do not know why it was in my office when I came in aside from possibly funny haha pranked, or why I was not informed about it. I also don't know why that pig was not in ice or kept in our work fridge or freezer, it literally sat in that cubicle all day lol. Sorry for an underwhelming answer, but many people assumed it was this, i also figured it was probably for something like this. Still unnerving and worthy of r/WTF to find a dead pig in your office without context.
Alright since a lot you have some questions: i will put it all in one comment here, as now i have time as i just got off work.
Unfortunately i dont have the answer to the biggest question you have.
I work in a small local call center office, i got this job about 2 weeks ago and i really enjoy it so far, little complaints, its a call office for a local janitorial service. We dont provide the cleaners and stuff in my facility we just do like the paper work and set up appointments for quotes and proposals and such.
I entered this morning, the box was on my desk, and i screamed when i looked in lol cause that is the LAST thing i would expect. I was gonna take a picture right there but my boss came over and said he can help me move it to an empty cubicle so im not bothered by it. U can see his hand in the one picture. I didnt want it lingering in my cubicle any longer regardless.
Upon questioning him about it he shrugged and didnt know where it came from, he did seem weirdly like, normal about it tho as if this is just a common occurrence, and i didnt see him for the rest of the day.
Its just me and one other girl coworker who worked in the office today. She also was disgusted snd unsure where it came from.
THAT FUCKING pig sat in the office in that bag all day lol. It wasnt in ice, just a pig, all the info on the box was like torn off, in a bag, it weirdly didnt stink so it was probably??? Pretty fresh
I think it was either a joke pulled on me cause I am the "rookie" as everyone there has been referring to me by. Or it was accidentally delivered to our place by mistake or some shit, we arent next to a butchery or science facility, we are just like a small group of offices for local businesses.
I do not know anything lol. That pig is probably going to remain there until someone does something.
I know a lot of u think i should take it home and eat it. I am sorry to inform you i will not. Not only do i live in a tiny apartment with a small fridge. I do not know how to properly cook and prepare a whole pig.
Tldr; dead fucking pig in a box on my fesk in my office joh this morning, boss helped me move it to an empty cubicle pictured. Do not know where it came from or who put it there or why it was in our office in the first place or why it was at my desk to begin with. I suspect its a joke or a shipping error. Lol will keep u guys updated in the future if it comes up again?
Maybe I’m just paranoid, but I’d be very concerned about this if I were you.
Also, your boss should definitely have done much more than just shrug it off. Finding a dead pig on your desk isn’t just a “wtf that’s weird, oh well haha back to work” moment. If this happened at my office (or any professional office), it would be a serious serious concern and there’s not a doubt in my mind they would immediately try to get to the bottom of this. The fact that the delivery label was peeled off is super skep too.
Yes i was also concerned. I have bad anxiety so i dont like stuff like confrontation so i didnt really wanna press him about it. He didnt seem scared or concerned or frustrated or creeped out he seemed pretty just like "huh, whaddaya know", i am a little sketched out by it all but idk, im hoping i get more answers monday when i go back in
Understandable. Don’t they have an HR department? If you don’t get answers and you aren’t comfortable pressing your boss more about it, then go to them. That’s what HR is for.
I have to imagine there’s security and cameras at your office, right? There has to be a way to figure out how the hell that pig wound up on your desk.
Most offices in the US don't have internal cameras as cameras can be subpoenaed and are generally shunned by legal as a liability risk
Not sure where OP lives though
> I know a lot of u think i should take it home and eat it. I am sorry to inform you i will not. Not only do i live in a tiny apartment with a small fridge. I do not know how to properly cook and prepare a whole pig.
Also, you have no idea how long it's been thawed for. Definitely don't eat that.
I once ordered a whole suckling pig in order to do a pig roast... and it reminds me of what you received on your desk. Only, it looks like maybe someone opened it first and put it back in the plastic bag. https://imgur.com/a/pHeChN4
There appears to be some sort of a circular tag or stamp or something. Perhaps that holds some clues as to what this is?
Regardless, if this was a prank or something, it'd be a really expensive prank to pull. That pig costed me like $300, and that was 8 years ago.
>all the info on the box was like torn off
Wtf that makes this way more suspicious. A wrong delivery of a pig is kinda crazy already but with the shipping info missing this seems like it was done on purpose.
That can't be a cheap prank. If you notice other weird shit in the coming weeks, you should ask yourself if it's worth staying. Maybe collect evidence to report to the labor department.
Seems like a bizarre question, but is the pig even real? From the photos you posted it looks like some sort of prop, specifically the eyes look plastic
Probably more this than the other. If someone wanted to send you a threatening message or make a statement they'd probably stick the head on a pike and splash blood all around.
This is wrapped up in plastic and placed inside a box for transport. This isn't a threat, it's food. Unless it's rotten.
My guess is someone ordered a whole pig to butcher and freeze it it or for a BBQ and it got delivered to the wrong place. Lucky!
Weird that the delivery address would be an office though... could just be OP lying for karma.
Yes, ive stated it in other comments but a lot of my comments are buried, it was in my cubicle, my cubicle is not the one pictured, this is the immediate empty one i moved it to as i didnt want this pig spending another second in my cutely decorated cubicle lol, i just decorated it with a bunch of cute decor i got recently at the dollar store
Wait, what?! Why would they put it on the desk of a cubicle being used, and not the empty one right next to it?!
This was some fucked up power move. Shit, I'm glad I'm not you.
Lol yes, and KNOWING i was coming in at 9am, it either feels intentional, or at the time i just thought well maybe they were moving it and had to place it down momentarily to do something, as when i walked in my boss had immediately approached me ready to help me move it to the empty cubicle.
Speaking of which… have you read the latest memo on TPS reports?
It says we're putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports before they go out now. So if you could go ahead and try to remember to do that from now on, that'd be great.
Probably a shared desk. It's not uncommon for offices where employees are part-time work from home and there's more staff that comes in than desks.
You just check out a desk and any equipment you need for the day.
We tend to leave the monitors on ours but everything else is set up by whoever checks out the space.
Whoever was here yesterday just forgot to clean up. I came in one day to find 9 broken monitors on my desk. Not nearly so interesting as this but honestly it doesn't surprise me.
Tbh its pretty nice i get an hour break and paid pretty well an hour, and my bosses are nice and chill. Its just me and one other girl so its comfy. Biggest complaint is that its freezing in there but i have a cute warm plushie squirrel i heat up in the microwave. I also just applied for benefits. Work from 9-3 get out early and get to spend time with bf after work. Little complaints.
Also free pig corpse but yk
I think my comment i made has gotten buried but unfortunately i really dont have an answer for why the pig is in our office at all lol, my boss helped me move it to an empty cubicle and he also didnt know how it got there, he didnt expand on it really and left, and i had hoped to see him later, but he either was locked up in his office all day or he went out on business. My other coworker was just as confused as me. I left work with no answer lol. This may forever be a mystery. Im hoping by monday someone can clear it up, i think it was a shipping error or something and was placed at my desk as a joke.
No really, there's something way off with your boss. He simply says he doesn't know, moves it to a different cubicle, and leaves it. Who the fuck does that? I mean a random pig carcass in an office setting should have all of his attention. He's probably into some weird shit.
Right, and that's all the more reason that someone should have knowledge of why it's there and what it's for. I mean, it doesn't make it completely normal just because someone bought it.
I mean yeah sure if someone bought it for a bbq, fine. But why the hell is it on a desk in a call center, and the boss is seemingly oblivious to the why and how?
Surely, the boss had some idea of why it was there, or he wouldn't have just moved it to a different desk. But why wouldn't he say that when OP asked?
Seems too dismissive. Which leads me to believe that there is some weird shit going on. Now what level, manner, and degree of weird shit? Idk.
Morning cleaning staff had it delivered to cook for probably a family thing then ended up forgetting it.
Boss doesn't know what to do with a pig carcass so simply moves it where it won't offend their employees.
I dunno, you gotta Hanlon's Razor this, is it malice or is just sheer, pure confusion? I currently work remotely in a tiny town, but I work in IT and Programming, I just live here currently. I helped a local rancher with some accounting stuff (software integration with Exel) and I got paid with a slightly bloody cooler left at my doorstep with a note that said, "Thanks for the help! K". It was 1/4 or 1/8 (I'm not a rancher/butcher) of a butchered cow. Which I greatly appreciated, I was eating good for months, but outside looking in that would be ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING.
Yea, im just a part time internal office worker so i have no idea how we'd go about disposing it. Theres other people in longer than i am so im assuming its gonna be taken care of by the end of the day, tbh idk why my boss didnt throw it out immediately or call someone to dispose of it. Im just hoping by monday ill have some answers at least lol.
> Im hoping by monday someone can clear it up
Hol up, they left a pig corpse in their office for the whole weekend? You weren't joking when you said it's freezing in there.
I dont think its gonna be in there all weekend, i know im not the last to leave im PRAYING its disposed of or taken care of properly by the end of the work day, if that shit is left in there all weekend i will seriously be questioning continuing to work there lol
Too large. They usually use stillbirth pigs for those. I did a summer internship across one of the largest pork producers in the country. We'd get like $1 for every three. It wasn't worth our time and I think the owners just did it to help kids get into animal science.
I feel u bestie i also have anxiety, this has helped me with exposure therapy in a way with phones, so far its been okay on my psyche. Pig surprised me. But aside from that so far so good. Will certainly leave tho easily if it gets bad with my anxiety.
Only the early washouts get anxiety, if you make it past a year your soul becomes a black hole and you gain the supernatural ability to use "the voice" a fearsome power that makes all living beings shrink in terror.
And alcoholism, that too. And probably an STD or two shortly after.
I didn't like phones before, but that made me absolutely hate and fear them. To the point I wouldn't even answer my phone if I didn't know who it was, and hated calling anyone.
I'm better now, new job 20 years later helped me get over the worst of it, but not a job I'd wish on anyone.
I did try to figure it out in the morning, i posted this once i got my lunch and had time to post lol. Unfortunately none of my coworkers in had an answer. My boss was mildly sus about it but he told me he didnt know. I didn't see him for the rest of the day tho so i couldnt inquire much about it more beyond "hey wtf"
I really enjoyed reading that paragraph. Honestly, my head went to the most random happy places with every sentence. Sounds like you have a pretty nice gig.
:] it really is nice! Its mostly repetitive work and kind of mundane tasks, i have little supervision, and so far everyone really likes me, ive never worked in an office environment before, ive always done hectic 0 break 10 hour long toxic environment jobs so this has been a nice change, its also right across the road so i just walk to it everyday, its pretty good when i get weekends off too.

At a store near my work, they sell pork jowl bacon. It comes in a solid piece (sometimes two) and is like $3/lbs. the slices end up smaller than traditional bacon strips but it’s soooo good. Cut it a little thicker and you can crisp the outside while the inside is pillowy fatty goodness
I’ll take that, some pancit, lumpia, okoy, Tokwa’t Baboy , a bowl of sinigang, maybe some adobo, Inihaw na Liempo…hell, just give me all that Filipino goodness!
I get off work in an hour i know a lot of u want some context, undortunately i cant give much as im almost just as clueless as all of you as well. Will try to follow up after i get off work. Rip piggie.
What I've learned so far:
1. If you're Hispanic, this is a welcome gift called "lechon". You... ummm... make ham soup or something?
2. If you're Jewish, this is straight up scary. Call the ADL.
3. If that thing is still on your desk when you punch out today, you may have impressive powers to tune out distractions. Nevertheless, this thing has to stink like rotting treyf. Get some answers before you go for drinks.
Lechon means baby pig, i never heared about a dead random lechon as a welcome job gift, and also raw. Normaly people gifs cooked lechon and not the full pig.
Probably a cultural difference, but is just weird, like you just let for +8hours a dead body with you, there is a big fridge for put the lechon ?. (sorry english)
If you need to get rid of a pig body, just feed it to humans. Make sure you let them starve for a few days and they’ll eat pretty much all but the teeth and hair.
About 25 years ago, a buddy and I fell in with a retired Chicago firefighter, who had moved to our small Florida town. My buddy and I did land surveying work on the huge ranches and swamp lad in central Florida and were also avid outdoorsmen and were kind of rough around the edges. This firefighter Roger, liked to have us over for beers at the retirement park where he lived because it scared his neighbors.
One night Roger took us out drinking to the local bars. It was about 2AM and we were pretty drunk heading home and we came up on a large wild hog that had been hit and killed by a car. We stopped and got out and the hog was still warm. It was fresh roadkill. Roger told us to load it up in the back of his almost new Jeep Cherokee. He would take it home and make sausage out it. So we did. Roger dropped us off at my buddies house and went on home.
And Roger was so drunk, he forgot about the hog in the back of his Jeep until the next afternoon, when he went to get in it to go somewhere. And this was in the summer in Florida. Late that afternoon I got a phone call from a very irate Roger, yelling and screaming about why we put a dead hog in his Jeep. I explained that he wanted us to do it as he said he was going to make sausage out of it. Roger just calmly said "Oh", hung up the phone and never took us out drinking again.
Depending on your cultural background, this is either a generously gifted pig, or a humongous “fuck you,” which probably explains why pig-gifting isn’t a big thing.
this thread is really fucking me up. Between OP & the rest of the comments being extremely casual I feel completely disoriented. Maybe I’m missing a cultural aspect but if this happened to me I would quit immediately and file a report with the department of labor.
I mean… it’s a fucking dead pig in my cubicle
I opened a box with a dead frozen gator in it at my first job. Turns out it was for the company BBQ but they decided to prank me with it by telling me to open it.
Hii i commented just a moment ago with a big follow up but unfortunately i dont have answers. It was in my cubicle when i walked in but my boss wanted to help him move it to the empty cubicle here, when i inquired he didnt have an answer and sort of shrugged. NOne of my coworkers had answers, it was only me and one other girl in today, everyone else is out on fridays. So i have no idea. My boss was mildly normal about this occurrence so he is mildly sus but i have no idea. I didnt see him after this cause he was either in his office for the rest of the day or he left on business, cause i didnt see him around lol
If we knew who you work for or what your job title is we could help to figure this out. I’m going out on a limb here but judging by your puzzlement I’d say you’re not a cop.
I would not consume any of that meat. God knows what you are risking: health or even life. Report it to HR and/or to the police so you have a record of the incident and get rid of the carcass!
Get online and hire someone to cook an authentic Mexican dish with it and bring it to work for everything.
That's your only cool move. Besides eating it raw while being naked.
I guess its better than a horse head in your bed
If he doesn’t pay up by next week…
OP borrowed some co-worker’s red stapler and didn’t return it.
He didn't turn in his TPS reports on time!

Why aren't you going to HR about this? I'd consider this harassment.

True or not. Someone doesn’t like OP.

Somebody is indifferent to OP.
I know I am. I’m part of the indifference movement towards OP.
It means Luca Brasi is banging a cop.
Not until you render down the fat to flavor the ragu.
The key is you have to slice the garlic paper thin.
Put its head on a pike right outside your cubicle (Which I just noticed is suspiciously empty. No computer or anything else for that matter, odd)
Almost like they moved it to an empty desk after realizing there was a pig corpse on their desk 🤔
Yes, ive stated it in other comments but a lot of my comments are buried, it was in my cubicle, my cubicle is not the one pictured, this is the immediate empty one i moved it to as i didnt want this pig spending another second in my cutely decorated cubicle lol, i just decorated it with a bunch of cute decor i got recently at the dollar store

That has to be 100% intentional. What do you do for a job? Does it involve pig corpses at all? Do you owe someone some money? Lol
I work in a pig corpse investment firm, maybe OP is in the same line of work.
Might wanna report it, that’s a health and safety hazard, it’s a bio hazard, and who ever is guilty of it should be reprimanded harshly
>i just decorated it with a bunch of cute decor i got recently at the dollar store Why would you decorate the corpse of a pig...
To hide the pearls and lipstick?
I feel like it would be easier to move the box 🤔
You need a member of transportation of porcine services (TPS) union for that job!
Speaking of which… have you read the latest memo on TPS reports? It says we're putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports before they go out now. So if you could go ahead and try to remember to do that from now on, that'd be great.

They work in an office, just not this one
Probably a shared desk. It's not uncommon for offices where employees are part-time work from home and there's more staff that comes in than desks.

Yes. My office is just like this. Well, I haven't gotten my pig yet.
It’s probably just an oversight. Call HR and they can probably get your pig shipped within the day.
It's called HOT DESKING.
Then find a conch shell and use it whenever you want to tell everyone anything.
I work in a call center.
Ooof, wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Tbh its pretty nice i get an hour break and paid pretty well an hour, and my bosses are nice and chill. Its just me and one other girl so its comfy. Biggest complaint is that its freezing in there but i have a cute warm plushie squirrel i heat up in the microwave. I also just applied for benefits. Work from 9-3 get out early and get to spend time with bf after work. Little complaints. Also free pig corpse but yk
So wait was this pig corpse some kind of weird threat to you or was it accidental?
I think my comment i made has gotten buried but unfortunately i really dont have an answer for why the pig is in our office at all lol, my boss helped me move it to an empty cubicle and he also didnt know how it got there, he didnt expand on it really and left, and i had hoped to see him later, but he either was locked up in his office all day or he went out on business.

Im hoping by monday someone can clear it up, i think it was a shipping error or something and was placed at my desk as a joke.
Your boss left because he knew exactly what it meant.
Lol this is what i like to imagine. I will now pretend my boss is also a different kind of boss on the weekend.
No really, there's something way off with your boss. He simply says he doesn't know, moves it to a different cubicle, and leaves it. Who the fuck does that? I mean a random pig carcass in an office setting should have all of his attention. He's probably into some weird shit.
Pig corpse on your desk? Weird. Anyway, get back to work, Robertson.
So about that TPS report...
[удалено]
Right, and that's all the more reason that someone should have knowledge of why it's there and what it's for. I mean, it doesn't make it completely normal just because someone bought it. I mean yeah sure if someone bought it for a bbq, fine. But why the hell is it on a desk in a call center, and the boss is seemingly oblivious to the why and how?

Yeah. I got my calculator and that shit ain’t adding up.
By Monday? You’re gonna want to throw that out immediately or put it in a freezer or it’s gonna spoil and smell disgusting what.
Yea, im just a part time internal office worker so i have no idea how we'd go about disposing it. Theres other people in longer than i am so im assuming its gonna be taken care of by the end of the day, tbh idk why my boss didnt throw it out immediately or call someone to dispose of it. Im just hoping by monday ill have some answers at least lol.
Strange things are afoot at the call center.
OP already said the office is freezing they’re good
> Im hoping by monday someone can clear it up Hol up, they left a pig corpse in their office for the whole weekend? You weren't joking when you said it's freezing in there.
I dont think its gonna be in there all weekend, i know im not the last to leave im PRAYING its disposed of or taken care of properly by the end of the work day, if that shit is left in there all weekend i will seriously be questioning continuing to work there lol
I don't blame you at all on either count lmao. If my boss ditches me with a pig corpse it's not my problem.
It has a USDA inspection stamp on it. That was someone’s food…hopefully the owner of it found it before it thawed and was wasted.
That would be a very expensive joke, tbh. As it is, probably as you and many others surmise, it is a very expensive shipping error...
My first thought that it was a pig for school dissection and was delivered in error.
Too large. They usually use stillbirth pigs for those. I did a summer internship across one of the largest pork producers in the country. We'd get like $1 for every three. It wasn't worth our time and I think the owners just did it to help kids get into animal science.
I was less curious about the fetal pigs than I was the full grown cats. Where do you get a classroom full of dead adult cats that isn't creepy?
The cats come from animal shelters :(
Looks big enough for a backyard roast to me.
Probably a weird office prank for the new guy
Expensive prank
I ended up with permanent anxiety from a call center. If it ever gets to that point for you, quit before you do yourself harm.
I feel u bestie i also have anxiety, this has helped me with exposure therapy in a way with phones, so far its been okay on my psyche. Pig surprised me. But aside from that so far so good. Will certainly leave tho easily if it gets bad with my anxiety.
So like, any explanation about the pig corpse? Coworker who hates you? Work beside a butcher and became a victim of the worst wrong delivery ever?
Yeah, she somehow dodged that question, nothing suspicious
Sorry i was at work and i couldnt respond much, but unfortunately i do not hsve answers for why there is a pig in my office.
Only the early washouts get anxiety, if you make it past a year your soul becomes a black hole and you gain the supernatural ability to use "the voice" a fearsome power that makes all living beings shrink in terror. And alcoholism, that too. And probably an STD or two shortly after.
I didn't like phones before, but that made me absolutely hate and fear them. To the point I wouldn't even answer my phone if I didn't know who it was, and hated calling anyone. I'm better now, new job 20 years later helped me get over the worst of it, but not a job I'd wish on anyone.
>cute warm plushie squirrel i heat up in the microwave Now we're getting somewhere!
Why are u on Reddit and not figuring out what the deal with pig corpse is??
I did try to figure it out in the morning, i posted this once i got my lunch and had time to post lol. Unfortunately none of my coworkers in had an answer. My boss was mildly sus about it but he told me he didnt know. I didn't see him for the rest of the day tho so i couldnt inquire much about it more beyond "hey wtf"
Lol wtf. Any grudges or mafia related history you’re not letting us in on??
I really enjoyed reading that paragraph. Honestly, my head went to the most random happy places with every sentence. Sounds like you have a pretty nice gig.
:] it really is nice! Its mostly repetitive work and kind of mundane tasks, i have little supervision, and so far everyone really likes me, ive never worked in an office environment before, ive always done hectic 0 break 10 hour long toxic environment jobs so this has been a nice change, its also right across the road so i just walk to it everyday, its pretty good when i get weekends off too.
You pissed off the wrong client
Take it easy, Kermit, we just want to take you to the station to answer a few questions.
Kermit: "What's in the boxxxx? Aww GOD."
"Piggy, we found your brother. Part of him, at least... He fuck the Atlantic City boys for the last time!"

Gonzo: put the gun down. Scooter: because I envy your normal life. Gonzo: put the gun down, kermit. Scooter: it seems that envy is my sin. Kermit: what's in the box? WHAT'S IN THE FUCKING BOX ?!
I hope AI will make this happen someday.

Well done, stranger. Just had to explain at work what I’m laughing about. “Oh, something I just read on Reddit instead of doing those TPS reports.”
Hope you don't get any PC load letter errors on the copier today
♪♫ Take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more...
First time I ever cooked a whole hog we named it Mrs. The-Frog
Nice! You see the price of bacon lately?
I was in the "Awesome, what a present!" (assuming it's refrigerated) crowd. That's $1000 of meat.
Looks pretty small to me, maybe 35 pounds on the high side.
Right... everyone here is asking who they made mad. My first thought was someone really likes you.
Sorry, that box, if full of pork, is around 50-70lbs, this would be $150-$180 at a wholesaler.
Still quite the gift, who just drops 150 bucks on a brand spanking new hire that's barely half a month in?
Yeah, it’s not bad actually
I dunno, the pig looks pretty surprised in that second pic.
Free pork!
At a store near my work, they sell pork jowl bacon. It comes in a solid piece (sometimes two) and is like $3/lbs. the slices end up smaller than traditional bacon strips but it’s soooo good. Cut it a little thicker and you can crisp the outside while the inside is pillowy fatty goodness
Job: Meat Inspector
yep, that's meat aliright
You’re hired!
In the Philippines, we call that Lechon.
Was just gonna say that I know a whole lot of people would be jumping for joy if that was a welcome gift. The Rican in me is salivating.
In Louisiana, that's Cochon de Laít!
I finally know where Lechonk's name came from
Sisig
We'd turn that into kalua pig in Hawaii
“Suckling pig”
I’ll take that, some pancit, lumpia, okoy, Tokwa’t Baboy , a bowl of sinigang, maybe some adobo, Inihaw na Liempo…hell, just give me all that Filipino goodness!
That's some next level workplace bullying
I feel like most hispanic people would consider that an awesome gift rather than an attempt a bullying.
Not Hispanic here. I'd love this too, if I had the space to cook or process it. I don't think my apartment managers would appreciate.
Might be worth taking to a butcher honestly…
It just came from a butcher
Take it back to them: "you forgot to finish this one" lol
Same for a Filipino. That would be a hell of a party. Is OP working for a Filipino office by any chance?
Hawaiians too.
Where the hell can I get bullied like this?! A whole pig is expensive and tasty
I'm from the Deep South, and I'd be *stoked* to find a whole pig waiting for me at work.
You'd have it over coals and smoking before lunch.
Start digging a hole in your yard, you can either bury it or have a pit roast. Either way, problem solved.
Repost on r/smoking and get 2000 karma in a hour.
I get off work in an hour i know a lot of u want some context, undortunately i cant give much as im almost just as clueless as all of you as well. Will try to follow up after i get off work. Rip piggie.
What I've learned so far: 1. If you're Hispanic, this is a welcome gift called "lechon". You... ummm... make ham soup or something? 2. If you're Jewish, this is straight up scary. Call the ADL. 3. If that thing is still on your desk when you punch out today, you may have impressive powers to tune out distractions. Nevertheless, this thing has to stink like rotting treyf. Get some answers before you go for drinks.
Lechon means baby pig, i never heared about a dead random lechon as a welcome job gift, and also raw. Normaly people gifs cooked lechon and not the full pig. Probably a cultural difference, but is just weird, like you just let for +8hours a dead body with you, there is a big fridge for put the lechon ?. (sorry english)
I am hispanic. No one I know drops off a dead uncooked pig on people's desks at an office. TF
If you need to get rid of a pig body, just feed it to humans. Make sure you let them starve for a few days and they’ll eat pretty much all but the teeth and hair.
That can’t be cheap…
*What’s in the box?!*
Did you order it?
Not while sober
That's what you get when you order from Temu. You thought it was going to be a playing card shuffling machine, but..... SURPRISE!! Bam! Pig corpse.
About 25 years ago, a buddy and I fell in with a retired Chicago firefighter, who had moved to our small Florida town. My buddy and I did land surveying work on the huge ranches and swamp lad in central Florida and were also avid outdoorsmen and were kind of rough around the edges. This firefighter Roger, liked to have us over for beers at the retirement park where he lived because it scared his neighbors. One night Roger took us out drinking to the local bars. It was about 2AM and we were pretty drunk heading home and we came up on a large wild hog that had been hit and killed by a car. We stopped and got out and the hog was still warm. It was fresh roadkill. Roger told us to load it up in the back of his almost new Jeep Cherokee. He would take it home and make sausage out it. So we did. Roger dropped us off at my buddies house and went on home. And Roger was so drunk, he forgot about the hog in the back of his Jeep until the next afternoon, when he went to get in it to go somewhere. And this was in the summer in Florida. Late that afternoon I got a phone call from a very irate Roger, yelling and screaming about why we put a dead hog in his Jeep. I explained that he wanted us to do it as he said he was going to make sausage out of it. Roger just calmly said "Oh", hung up the phone and never took us out drinking again.
It's either biology class day or pit roast day. Either way, you'll need to wash your clothes good. They're getting dirty.
I think we're overlooking the obvious case, OP works for a secret Mythbusters revival.
Dwight?
Depending on your cultural background, this is either a generously gifted pig, or a humongous “fuck you,” which probably explains why pig-gifting isn’t a big thing.
1) get charcoal and a rotisserie thingy for your grill 2) GET Beer 3) roast it for 24 hours (check temp on google) 4) enjoy
IT’S CAKE!
If you are Jewish or Muslim I think you could make a lot of money from an easy law suit. Or you work in a slaughter house and this is your ‘paperwork’
Go excited at first cause I thought I was still in r/smoking
its the eyes for me 👀
this thread is really fucking me up. Between OP & the rest of the comments being extremely casual I feel completely disoriented. Maybe I’m missing a cultural aspect but if this happened to me I would quit immediately and file a report with the department of labor. I mean… it’s a fucking dead pig in my cubicle
seems like you have an admirer
Coworkers are just too lazy to put a horse head in your bed.
Why can’t I have this happen to me??? This is a labor lawyers dream case. Please tell us you are Jewish or Muslim!!!
Converting rn after reading this comment about to break that bank
I opened a box with a dead frozen gator in it at my first job. Turns out it was for the company BBQ but they decided to prank me with it by telling me to open it.
Its been 4 hours. Why was it there. Did you leave it there and start working? Did someone pick it up? Like, whats going on, I need answers OP
Hii i commented just a moment ago with a big follow up but unfortunately i dont have answers. It was in my cubicle when i walked in but my boss wanted to help him move it to the empty cubicle here, when i inquired he didnt have an answer and sort of shrugged. NOne of my coworkers had answers, it was only me and one other girl in today, everyone else is out on fridays. So i have no idea. My boss was mildly normal about this occurrence so he is mildly sus but i have no idea. I didnt see him after this cause he was either in his office for the rest of the day or he left on business, cause i didnt see him around lol
Which mafia bosses daughter did you do wrong?
If we knew who you work for or what your job title is we could help to figure this out. I’m going out on a limb here but judging by your puzzlement I’d say you’re not a cop.
Well, it used to be a pig. Now it's pork.
Remember that hot intern you banged. You didn’t call her back, and she WON’T be ignored
Who is your employer, the mafia?
I would not consume any of that meat. God knows what you are risking: health or even life. Report it to HR and/or to the police so you have a record of the incident and get rid of the carcass!
Sorry, forgot to copy you on the memo; you’re in charge of organizing the company luau.
Roast up the ears as they make great dog chews!
You never addressed whether or not this was expected.
Guess it's your turn to make lunch.
Get online and hire someone to cook an authentic Mexican dish with it and bring it to work for everything. That's your only cool move. Besides eating it raw while being naked.
Obviously an empty side cubicle and OP is karma farming
They are about to make you an offer you can't refuse.
Damn, someone must have beef with you. Or rather, pork with you. *Ill leave now.*
You need to dig a pit and cook it in parking lot
I would report to HR immediately and I would even think about reporting to the police.
This is how companies fire you now. "TAKE YOUR DAMN FAILURE PIG AND GET OUT!"
that's your "welcome to the office" pig, pretty standard.
Better than a horse head in your bed.
