Man, I'm annoyed because my job has a fun budget of like $1000 which has nothing to do with raises.

And they're terrified of using that money to make a pizza party because of the backlash. So instead, they spend that money on buying dumb ass posters and hats for people with positive encouragement.

So thanks to these memes, instead of drowning in pizza, I get a Good Vibes trucker hat.

I found a meme that relates to the garbage I get now.

I do hope you said thank you and wear it every day to office.

Can you not tell the employees that you have it earmarked for that and ask for suggestions?

Why not do go-karts or something? Y'know, as long as it's during business hours.

Just an idea, visa gift cards. If you need to make it fun, make it a raffle.

We have pretty strict rules at my work about cash equivalents. I'd go with food.

Dude, pizza is not expensive, and it's also incredibly unhealthy. That's the reason there are memes. Just go buy a frozen pizza for $4 at the store. The store brands are really solid.
