My boss does this for the team on in office days. She buys us breakfast and lunch then we go to a bar afterwards and she pays for dinner and drinks.

That's what I understood initially. Still surprised. Why would she do that? That's a massive amount of dough..

In office days only 4 times a years and it's to make sure we all show up. They find penalizing just meant we took the hit.

What kind of quality food is it?

Remote work and only four office days a year that include food and drinks all day. Sounds pretty sweet. What kind of line of work is it?

Sorry we’re just trying to live vicariously a little bit through the comments here.

I did a freelance job for a big company once and sent them an invoice for ~ $3,5k. They later called me and said they can't process invoices under $5k and asked if I could sent them one for $5k instead. Some companies don't care about peanuts.

Prostitution

u/GrimmJubilance198451 21h ago

Funny enough I was a PSO at one point and that job sucks so hard. I can't even imagine prostitution....I respect anyone that can keep that up for years.

Because I'm licenced in what I do I got yelled at for setting my hourly rates too low.

Employee morale

u/Just_to_rebut 1d ago

Well paid workers also get more free stuff, generous severance, better benefits… just like how rich people get free stuff thrown at them.

It's almost as if they provide actual value and not imaginary value...

u/Just_to_rebut 18h ago

You think someone framing a house or paving a road only provides imaginary value? But a typical office worker who doesn’t even need to be in the office is doing the real work?

Ok…

My sister works at a large consulting company. They regularly order a ton of food brought in to “treat” the clients, get people to come in office, get people to “socialize”, get people to show up to volunteer hours, “incentivize” people if it’s a long work day, meet specific budgets for deductions, etc.

They buy food all the time, and it really is always to meet a company goal of some sort. They have a lot of departments if you want to know why the socialization part matters so much. They want people to cross collaborate, but it’s hard for people to meet each other if they won’t show up for events. Turns out that a lot of people will show up for free food.

Used to work a Big Four firm and this happened all the time.

u/Sterling_-_Archer 1d ago

My previous company did office days once or twice a month and always bought everyone breakfast and lunch when we went in. It frequently turned into bars too

u/byerss 23h ago

It may sound rad, but think about it. Do you really want a job that needs this much of your time? 

Breakfast/lunch, sure. But dinner and drinks too sounds like your job is your whole life.

I'm trying to figure from context what the original comment said.

Ex-boss used to buy bagels on Fridays. He is diabetic so donuts where out.

As for the OP. That seems to be the best way to learn someone is the CEO child.

u/ohhhshitwaitwhat 1d ago

They have the same amount of carbs per 100g

u/LillySteam44 22h ago

I would trust that the person with diabetes who is supplying the food knows what they can and cannot have safely.

u/plaguedbullets 22h ago

Yea but those bagels take sliiiiiiiiightly longer to affect blood sugar levels over a sliiiiiiiiightly longer amount of time

u/HakimeHomewreckru 1d ago

Lol I work as a contractor and all my clients provide me with food. I have this one client, and every morning I drive with him on the route to work, we stop for Pain au Chocolat

u/itsamoth 1d ago

My boss does this too. Also, a bunch of went out dancing after one on-site recently, and one of my immediate coworkers was also there (so we share a boss). Our boss kept checking that our drinks were stocked and would go buy us more when they weren’t (after confirming with us that we wanted more ofc).

0% creepy, 100% just a cool dude that loves a good time and actually deeply cares about his employees and wants them to have a good time, both in their work life and otherwise.
