I like how they have words on them like "pray" and "imagine"

Imagine a better, communist future

Pray for the collapse of the bourgeoisie

Place I worked last year didn't do anything for nurse's week, but during nursing home week they gave us an empty cardboard box. It was like 4x6x3cm and they had a paper inside saying that the box held all their gratitude for us. Nobody took it well.

how in the neurotypical is that meant to be interpreted as anything other than "we have no gratitude for you"?

I think they also did this where I'm at. Plus t-shirts which the company had printed by one of the more petite bourgeois-minded supervisors to save cost. Literally a Charlie Brown bit.

This was a bit on News Radio where the billionaire owner gave the staff branded caps then felt bad enough about it to compensate by doing an oprah and buying everyone cars. This was a show so reactionary it launched the careers of both Joe Rogan and Andy Dick and even it took the premise of a company giving a gift of merch clothing as obviously beyond the pale.

I remember last year, our supervisor gave us coupons for the other department supervisor to make custom pens from her side gig as a small commercial t shirt printer and etcher. The cherry on top is that she's the landlord of one of the employees in her department.

I've seen them as a staple of "giftbags" that nurses get, but never as a luxury buffet of all the rocks you want. Posts like this make for good agitating. Even the most reactionary nurse plainly sees how much admin goes out of their way to insult them on top of the normal abuse.

There was one where the rock even came with a note telling them to write something nice on the rock and give it to another nurse.

"I'm supposed to appreciate the nurses? Ugh, that sounds awful, just make the nurses appreciate each other"

There's enough kit available to nurses to make a pretty decent slingshot.

No sense in tweaking your elbow flinging those stones when rubber hoses and do all the work.
