    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.

      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.

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

    So many things wrong with one post. Shitty AI image, gargling on corporate balls, probably a sockpuppet account, terribly distributed jalapeños, calling themselves an “artist”.

    I’m trying to decide whether this is some poor attempt at propaganda or a poorly executed joke.

      Judging by the AI generated pictures and the “artist” bit, my money is on them being a “prompt engineer” attempting to suck up to their bosses to delay their inevitable firing once they realize they might as well cut out the middleman.

      I checked their profile to make sure wasn’t a parody account and most posts seem normal so i also can’t tell

    It takes literally 2 seconds to debunk, with the shortest possible walk of logic. If you got a raise, you would spend exactly that amount every pay period buying pizza, and would never, ever use it for anything else…?

      Also, how many pizza parties are you getting that are worth a raise? If you consider a 1000$ raise per year, which is I guess nothing on a US salary, it’s like 50 pizzas. If you eat two whole pizzas at every single pizza party, that would be almost two parties per month. Is that a realistic amount of parties?

    Classic “You could buy a PlayStation if you didn’t pay union dues!” message. And with AI art to make it extra gross.

    I guess if it was a daily unlimited good pizza party instead of a small raise given as long as I had the job; then maybe it would be a better deal.

    If I’m either getting an extra $100 a month or $20 of pizza every day… I think pizza wins.

    What are the chances we get daily free pizza?

    If it’s not daily: I’d take the money. If daily: I’d have to think about it.

    If you read this far and it’s not clear: I’m joking.

    Eat your single allocated slice of pizza, employee. Be grateful you’re getting a pittance and go back to work. Bathroom breaks are now a privilege. The beatings will continue until morale improves.

      I’ve only heard it in reference to pizza, but in like a Bill & Ted type voice so maybe it’s optimal use is stoned eating pizza

      Definitely heard it called that at least as far back as the 90s. I assume it predates that, though.

    After decades of playing ‘ZA’ in Scrabble, this is literally the first time I’ve ever seen someone use it in a sentence.

    Maybe I want some tequila with my pizza. Maybe I like a set of toppings that never gets ordered at a pizza party. Maybe I want to hire a hooker to feed me the pizza. Wanting cash instead of pizza enables all of this and more.
