If this was a sound company with decent HR policies, meaning a company which truly appreciates and properly values hard work and dedication, fine. In the context of every and each one of us feeling completely dehumanized, reduced to a disposable tool, and living under a constant threat of being laid off at any moment, it seems an insane affair to me. Like being part of some bizarre, reality-bending theatrical show.

Funny if it weren’t so sad … I can’t get out of this place fast enough.

I've been on calls with the hr people who are pushing this and they just snicker at the whole thing and well life is all to keep BL happy.

Living the Well Life. Every time I hear a manager preach about integrity and authenticity, I cringe.
Zero people are falling for this nonsense. The marketing team has to be cringing when publishing this stuff.

100% agree. the company just doesn't care about any of us. they would rather save a few dollars and employ foreigners then to employ USA workers. multi-billion dollar company.... it's absolutely laughable.

The whole purpose of “Employee Appreciation Week” is to make marketing look like they do something besides incomprehensible in branch posters and recycled ATM screens.
Somebody is looking to justify their job. That’s all.
Had to get it in before midyears, where they try to convince us that outstanding performance is really just meeting expectations.
It’s a sad state of affairs if they have to contrive an explicit week for it. Rewards work better when unexpected. Just ask Paslov’s dog.
It’s called “Employee Deception Week.”
