Earning a living is meant to be one of the most important markers that you're a semi-responsible adult. It's kind of ironic, then, that many employers try to treat the people that work for them like they're children. The boss and employee relationship is a strained one at the best of times. Perhaps that's why some higher ups are attracted to behaving like their workers are preschoolers.
It would go some way to explaining the unbelievable 'reward' that one Redditor was on the receiving end of at their job. They were so outraged by this gesture that they felt the need to take it to the wider internet. They revealed that the way their company recognized hard work was to give employees "work bux", a fake currency that could be exchanged for canteen items like granola bars or dried ramen.
This cringey attempt at compensation had Redditors up in arms, and with good reason. As if not getting a raise wasn't bad enough, the Bitmojis are enough to send anyone over the edge.
