>started randomly baking cakes and bringing them to work once every few weeks>Suddenly everyone likes me>Boss told me he had heard some very positive feedback about me lately>Mfw he's giving me a bonusI literally haven't changed anything in my work, if anything I work less than before because i'm eating cake with my colleagues
>>62652335Congrats you figured out meritocracy doesn't exist. Work is unironically a popularity contest.
>>62652335I never got a raise at my job until one day I simply joked to my mangager that all my white hairs came from working too much. A few days later he said he'd raise my salary.
And you have a nice haircut too : )
>Anon realises work is just the school playground but for adults
>>62652350This. It's all a game.
I drove away from work to get some burgers (I ate them all myself)
>>62652335>waste all that money on ingredients and time on baking>get a raise where it'll take at least six months to breakeven on that costamazing
True. I usually just get a few boxes of Krispy Kreme's once a year when my team meets with the CEO.
>>62652498He was going to bake anyways
>>62652498I like baking, and for most cakes the raw materials cost close to nothing (just avoid anything with real vanilla because this shit is expensive)
>>62652335You’re raising your profile and probably socializing with people more. Pretty based imo, maybe they’re just noticing how good you are
>>62652335You think that's crazy? Imagine how many bonuses you'd get if you sent your boss nudes or sucked his dick. That's what every HR roastie making 3x your salary does and it doesn't cost them anything. Here you are buying flour, eggs and frosting to impress these normies like that good little house nigga you are.
>>62652533 buy the vanilla beans online and make your own <insert vanilla thing>. In-store prices are all scams. They stay fragrant for quite a while in an air sealed container
>>62652335based and bakingpilled. for me, it's apple crumb pies. they're surprisingly delicious with some ice cream.
>>62652335I hate people who bring stuff to work just to manipulate people. Reported not biz related
>>62652350This. It's because someone else already figured it all out and you are just a cog in their machine. Being likeable is literally the only thing 99% of people bring to the table.t. employer
>>62652566This is so fucking true, I laughed, but then I became disgusted.
>>62652533I'm sure the retarded government putting tariffs on Madagascar have nothing to do with it
God, I hate the cake faggotry at work. I don't want to eat your passive aggressive cheap sugar shit.I once had a coworker who brought a cake he made and said he can't eat it because he doesn't eat sugar.
>>62653227Still expensive as fuck. For your coworkers you can just use vanillin. It's not like they could taste the difference anyways.
>>62652335Don't tell anyone that you're a food rapist.
>>62652335>Mfw he's giving me a bonusFrom an employer and HR perspective, your ability to bring the office together and make it a nice place is worth thousands of dollars in employee turnover and employee infighting.
>>62652335people eat shit you made?
>>62652335>spend $30 on organic ingredient to make an epic salad for work potluck day>barely anyone eats it>go home and triple creampie a married slut from tinder>even she won't eat it
>>62652335You sound based and comfypilled. GIWI worked with you
>>62652350Correct. On the other hand if you find technically competent but unlikeable people you should make friends with them and protect them so when you get promoted you can manage them and still get shit done.
>>62654227Imagine buying some chick a house and committing your entire life, and all finances to her, and as you're toiling away, working overtime to pay off all the debt, she's out fucking some random guy she met on tinder because she's bored. Being a husband to a modern western woman truly sounds like the lowest form of degrating humiliation that has ever existed.
>>62652335> meritocracyMeritocracy is the ideology made up by the absolutely grind to the max wage havers to justify hardwork equal to high paying. On paper it is absolutely make perfect sense. And it is the ideal scenario.
>>62653896>>62654359This is why I'm starting my own thing. Fuck normies and their bullshit.
I mix laxatives in your cake before anyone eatsYou are fired next day and arrested for poisoning OP. I also get your bonus on top of mineMuhahahahhh
>>62652335have you noticed that companies offer cheap "benefits" instead of raises? and how people take them as if they were really valuable?everyone does this kind of manipulation. you've just noticed. welcome to the real world.
>>62652335The Dexter strat. Nice. Keep up the good work (regularly bringing in treats for the wagies)!
>>62654504This trick only work when you are new guy in the office and haven’t make any real enemies yet in the new grounds, they’re more willing to shift the blame instead of making you a scapegoat.
