It’s a great motivator to get you into a meeting you don’t want to attend. But that’s about it.
Pizza and beer Friday goys!!!!! – OR…you could pay me properly and I could afford my own pizza and beer.
Bullshit
Money works as employee can use money to buy whatever takeaway they wish and eat in comfort without having to make small talk with work colleagues.
But yep having a few perks like free tea/coffee and snacks or the free pizza is nice benefit to keep morale up and encourage team bonding but not in place of higher wage/bonus
Who wouldn’t want to be paid in pizzas?
Money motivates me
Pizza doesn’t pay the bills
this person has no clue of running a business, they are a “content creator”
A boss once surprised us with tickets to a local music event and it turned out it was just him playing guitar in the local pub for an hour. It really reminded me that under capitalism we’re all in the control of our work dictators.
No it doesn’t!! Give me 20 quid and Ill get a pizza to myself!!
A good company will do both.
Stuff like pizza is a perk. A nice-to-have. But anyone saying that money isn’t 99% of what matters to an employee is lying. The whole point of jobs is to make money to actually live your life.
This American style “team building” needs to stop. We’re completely different cultures..we don’t care if head office in the state’s thinks “we’re family” we’re not. I wouldn’t even be on talking terms with more than one or two of my colleagues if I wasn’t being paid to. I don’t want to “get to know” people in those horrible talking circles and I don’t want them to know about me. I want to do my job, get paid and go home. That’s it.Want to improve morale? Slip me an envelope of cash at Christmas..
it works so long as pay/conditions are decent. If used INSTEAD of meaningful pay/conditions, its a scam
We are only seeing the headline of the article but it might be missing steps. People prefer a positive work environment and are less likely to leave one for a slight bump in pay they may be offered.
Places that give you pizza and aren’t stingy with penny pinching are more positive work environments.
I’m sure some managers will take this to mean that they just need to order a pizza every month and forego pay rises rather than actually build a place that people enjoy working at.
Ah yes monthly pizza deposits in my bank for 30 to 40 years to pay off my life long loan for a house I can’t afford because of the economic meat grinder that has been running rampant for the last 50+ years.. exceptional idea
Probably the logic they used: reward a team of 6 with €30 worth of pizza and they’d be happier than if they were each handed €5.
Paying a decent wage to match the effort is unthinkable.
Say it with cash
As a nice gesture yes
But not a substitute for appropriate pay
These people are fucking deluded. No-one goes into work at their 9-5 desk job because they want to be there. They fucking hate it and they do it for money. Just money. If you think the people you employ want to spend half their waking hours staring at numbers at a desk or on a phone you’re so self-righteously insane I don’t understand how you got to the position of employing people in the first place
I haven’t read that article, but I know my husband’s employers often bring them in pizza or the boss will throw on a barbecue etc. on a Friday. They work in a factory and are actually paid pretty well for the work. They get regular payrises, Christmas bonuses, and they even got an extra €500 recently as the cost of living has gone up.
I think, that done the right way, pizzas etc. can be good for morale, and are a nice thing to do.
I fucking hate when companies try to make me fat as a way to motivate me
I am SO SICK of American culture arriving here. It doesn’t match – ever since my company started having too many attempts of forcing culture, I’ve started feeling more disengaged.
Nope, this is American shite, what yall gotta do is give me and my coworkers a bit of cash or we will go on strike and shove that pizza far up thier ass!
This is literally what I do in work when I want teenagers to do something they might think is boring like a research piece or a workshop. It’s like the number 1 method to get kids to do something they won’t want to do. I’d rather get paid a decent wage….
Ahh yes love been treated like 9 year old at a birthday party. Only going to work for the pizza 🍕
It’s a nice little perk alright. On occasion we might have to work a Saturday shift and there’s usually pizza laid on at lunchtime.
But that’s in addition to getting two days added to our holiday balance. If we weren’t getting that they could go and shite with their Saturdays.
This is boomer media horse shit designed to suppress and manipulate the poor millenial. No, it doesn’t work.
“Why money isn’t all that great of a motivator” lol wtf?
I’m sure she is paid in pizza slices so. Fucking idiot.
I can’t believe this isn’t satire. It’s complete bollox when you go above and beyond for a company and they reward you with pizza. Employees want money to improve their lives, AND pizza!
I had an employer that did this when I worked in retail when I was young. Used to drive me fucking mad as I struggled to pay rent and these fucks did this all the time instead of paying us properly
