“I don’t know whose manager needs to hear this, but pizza is not a bonus”
Many managers see employees working hard and reward them with pizza. The employees, however, really want bonuses.
A pizza meme was posted on Facebook by Drew Kamin on October 15, 2019. “When your ‘Bonus’ at work is a Pizza Party’ is shown on an image. A worker says, “Am I a joke to you?”

This is not a “bonus” this is not a sign of appreciation this is truly a slap in the face . Can’t pay bills with pizza ... always know your worth!!!

My job is ordering pizza for lunch to show their appreciation to the staff. First of all I work at night so thanks. Show me your appreciation by giving me a bonus not a damn slice of pizza😒

Stop giving your employees pizza, give them a “stay-on” bonus instead.

A slice of advice for my fellow CEOs: Pizza is not a bonus! It’s time to rethink how we value and reward our teams.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but pizza is not a bonus. I’ll eat it, because I love pizza, but where ‘s the money.

This might offend some law firm partners, but… pizza is not a bonus, and casual clothes Friday is not a day off.
