    Haha yes! You did the right thing though. It’s all about timing. I knew my team needed the dumb prizes that week/month for the extra goodwill. You knew everyone needed goddamn pens.

    How long would it have taken to get that done going through management?

    “So I spoke to manager X and they said we’ll have pens in a couple weeks” doesn’t exactly inspire anything.

      People had been complaining about the pens since my first day there lol all the pens I bought were gone after about a month and they all went back to complaining again. I think one of the managers supplied a single 10 pack of pens once the whole time I worked there. I just kept a box of my own in my car for me to use lol

        “Fuck it, I’ll do it myself” is, in my experience, a great way to get ahead at work. No one likes the manager that doesn’t look out for thier people.
