Apparently they're blaming the decision to stop us from taking home food because of some dipshit who took too much shit home. Idk if that's true this time (last time it was the impetus for them to give a shit, some guy was taking home like four fucking containers of shit every day) but even if they're just scapegoating someone it's still collective punishment which, according to the Geneva convention, is a literal crime against humanity

even my own fucking gf is hmmming and hummmming at me, I feel like I've got the fucking glasses from They Live on so the fucking cost being TAKEN FROM ME is clear as day and everyone else is all HUH? WHAT YOU MAD ABOUT?

I consider a full container of food from there to be bare minimum $16-20 in value, so that's a bare minimum $2/hr pay cut over the course of a day. And that doesn't include the value of me not having to spend an hour or more at home cooking for myself or my partner. Which, if you take my time to be worth what it is at work, would basically double that. A single fucking container of food, if it prevents me from needing to cook later, is worth 33-40 ffucking dollars, in my opinion. So it's closer to an effective 3-4 dollar PER HOUR pay cut, which is like, 25% of my fucking pay

Years of brainwashing

Which is especially funny considering that the average office worker takes home way more valuable stuff than that and they don't fucking get told "No stationary for anyone anymore!"

Office bosses understand the long-term strategic benefits of encouraging workers to take shit home under the table so they can selectively use it as a pretext to fire whoever they want later without needing to find a legal excuse.

Well, I feel justified taking that 100 count box of AAA batteries even more so now
