Manager Shocked To Find Out A Pizza Party Isn't The Same As A Raise

 Local store manager Drew Johnson is stunned to find out that employees don't see an end of year pizza party and a raise as equal. 

Drew: "As a manager, it's my job to make sure that my employees are satisfied, and I was truly surprised when an employee told me they wanted a raise more than an end of year pizza party."

Employee: "Are you serious? How did you not know that we wanted a raise more than a pizza party?"

Drew: "This truly comes as a shock to me. According to any managerial training I've had, managers have always said employees will appreciate a pizza party at least as much as a raise."

We decided to dig further into this interesting phenomenon and found some astonishing discoveries along the way. We took managers from several different stores and conducted scientific experiments to see if they all felt the same way about a pizza party. The scientists had shown an image of a box of pizza and a large check handed to an employee to represent a raise. To our surprise, it turns out none of the managers were able to tell the difference between the two images. When managers were shown the images again, they began to seriously wonder why these scientists thought the two images were different.

Scientists Find Break Room Coffee and Jet Fuel are 99% Similar

 Scientists from The Disreputable Institution have made a breakthrough discovery and found that break room coffee shares a 99% chemical composition with jet fuel. Scientists had theorized that the coffee was terrible, but they didn't realize the extent to which it truly sucked.  To get some insight on the matter, the research team decided to interview employees at various companies to see what they thought of this news. One stated, "I really am not surprised at all by this. I could feel my insides rotting almost instantly after drinking that awful coffee." Another employee stated, "Really? Maybe I can get some worker's comp for this." and then proceeded to chug the remaining pot of coffee.  Only minutes later, the employee realized this mistake and was immediately transported to the hospital. Unfortunately, they are in critical condition and the doctors estimate it's a 50/50 chance of survival. Our thoughts and prayers are with him at this time.
