My boss, in lieu of providing pay checks (let alone pay raises) or benefits (we have them on paper, we're told not to use them because they aren't really there), has issued a formal proclamation that this week is "employee appreciation week". We don't get time off, or a cake, or even a scrap of paper to put in our files, just an email telling us this is "employee appreciation week". The email lists all the job positions considered "appreciated" - mine isn't on the list.
I feel so under-appreciated.
