So, apparently this Claw Machine appeared in my brother's office overnight. I don't know why, but it just looks dystopian, like an episode of Black Mirror. He asked about it, and they told him it was put there to boost morale over the holidays. One might think it would be free to play then, right? Oh no, you have to do extra work to earn tokens or pay. Nothing like Upper Management to both demoralize and insult everyone with their Morale Boosting plan.

JUST.
GIVE.
PEOPLE.
MORE.
MONEY.

@RickiTarr EXACTLY!

None of this:

Pick a "gift" from this catalog so we can write it off on our corporate taxes.

Pizza party.

Team-building exercises.

Pitting groups against each other on the same project.

Rewards that can only be spent on the company's products.

@kimlockhartga Money or free days off, those are the choices to reward adult people.

@RickiTarr Even bonuses are tied to sales goals and/or post-shrink (loss or theft) inventory. Maybe they could just grant bonuses to acknowledge that the company would dissolve without the efforts of labor?
