The company I work for is an oil and gas company that used to be Enron. This company bought themselves out right before Enron went bankrupt. I now know why they went bankrupt. They buy breakfast for everybody here (50 people or so) at least three times a week. They buy really expensive cheesecakes weekly. We have fridge stocked with sodas, juices, and waters, all bought by the company and re-stocked daily. They buy computers like no tomorrow. They also pay everybody really, really well. If you took a walk through our parking garage, you'd find all late model vehicles. I'm talking about Mercedes, Hummers, Suburbans, and of course nice trucks (yeah, I'm in Texas). I get paid pretty well and you all see what I do all day. Yep, GC. One more thing, they are flying some people out to Palm Springs just for the hell of it.

I expect that the company will soon start cutting back on its spending. However, this could all be normal. Before here, the other office jobs I held were at the courthouse, and there were no perks there. The county is shiesty. :p

i work for a fortune 500 company that went bankrupt back in 1999. the owners had spent way than what was necessary plus we had claims filed against us.
we're now out of it but they still fly people here all of the time. they get to stay in ritzy hotels. we have a breakfast, lunch, and dinner for them plus a bar with a piano band or dj. and i'm always like, 'is this necessary?'

My fiancé's supervisor showed him porn at work.

The guys all talk about how dumb their wives are and are always looking for a piece on the side

My boy's predecessor in his job brags about how he got an STD.

He works with some really bad people. But it pays the bills...and as long as he doesn't become one of them...

Dogma.
They'll get their dues.
