Their solution to employee "moral" is to throw in some stupid "Jean Day" or "Free Coffee Day" or something that really doesn't make up for what in actuality is lack of accountability and severe worker burn-out.
Jean Day is the ultimate insult. "Dress codes are very important, except for when we want to throw the worker bees a bone without it costing us anything."

This reminds me of a co-worker I trained many years. Her previous employer of four years did not give yearly raises. But, management would do "Free Pretzels" every month as a way of saying they really cared about their staff.

Jeans aren't even comfortable, IMO. I always wore my sweats instead!
I am just glad that my new job doesn't have those stupid team building meetings I used to have to do at my old job. And we don't have 5 pointless meetings a week that end up with the owner b****ing for 45 minutes.
The micromanager who expects to be cc’d on each email, then when there an issue, rather than READ through the thread, she expects someone to state the facts over again.
The same manager that picks out the most simple and unimportant point and wants clarity.
HR had a rule that we could sit at our desks without a mask, but if we walked anywhere, we had to put it on. It doesn’t matter if a person is sitting at their desk coughing their lungs up.
When asked if there was an incentive plan for cost-saving methods, cricket’s started chirping. (That’s a no. It also means they don’t care about saving money. Yet, they give yearly raises of cents - for the “common employees”.)
Employees are given jobs that 3 people should do. Then, management asks why some issue wasn’t discovered. If an issue was discovered, then mgt asks why the issue was found when we should just be doing the task at hand. D@mend if you do, d@mend if you don’t.
There are 2 buildings. The people in one building are perfect and the people in the other building. . . aren’t. It’s obvious who is whom.
One thing that I've run into as a person who works PT is that the definition of what PT hours are varies widely across different jobs. In one position with a company you might be scheduled to work ONE 5 hour shift per week. In another position with another company, you might be hired PT but scheduled for 40 hours one week and 32 hours the next week - and your scheduled hours can be subject to wide variations, one week starting work at 6:30AM and working 8 hours and the next week Starting at 12PM and working 8 hours.
What happened to the standard 15-20/hr set schedule PT jobs? Am I the only one who remembers those?
Springfield: I wonder if the 40 hours one week, then 32 the next is used for those who get paid every two weeks. That would average 72 hours, rather than 80, whereby being just short of having to pay health insurance and other benefits.

I don't know but I think being short staffed has something to do with it, too.
