Free Pizza Layoff Ambush
Ignore "Free Pizza" email - just got laid off Hey everyone - just wanted to warn y'all that layoff season is upon us. I just got the axe today. I got an email from Jennifer W. saying "Free Pizza on 24. First come first serve." I ran up there as fast as I could, but there was no pizza. Instead, I found the entire talent team waiting in ambush. They huddled all ~60 of us up in a corner somewhere and told us with a bullhorn that "if we had enough time for pizza, we obviously didn't have enough to do around here." They then made us take the service elevator out so we wouldn't disturb morale. To their credit, on the way out they did hand us each a $5 gift card to little caesers, so I'd probably make the same choices again, if given the option. Ymmv
A Reddit-style workplace story describes employees being lured by a fake free-pizza email and ambushed with mass layoffs. The joke is the cynical corporate excuse that having time for pizza supposedly meant there was not enough work, softened only slightly by a small Little Caesars gift card.
