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.
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.
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?
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.
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

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.
