    I just got a heads up from my GF, that her boss does this every year. As her partner, they will expect me to partake and help my girl fill her bags. The boss also tries to grab as much money.

    Is this the perverse metaphor I think it is? Will I be rolling on the ground, fighting my comrades over 50 Peso notes?

    There wasnt just money in the piñata but also buttons. The person with most buttons won a big TV.

    In the previous game the winner was allowed to chose a prize from the raffle table. The boss won and went straight for one of the two TVs.

    So comes the piñata: People putting hands full of gravel in bags to search it for buttons. People selling their buttons for cash.. "Remember last year I got a blue eye haha"

    Well, my girlfriend won the big TV and says shes going to ask if she can swap it for some days off.

    Im still speechless, but I was asked why I think this game is wrong and I dont know how to express myself. My GF says its just a bit of fun and doesnt see whats wrong with it and even feels like Im attacking her by criticising the game she played, as if I were making them out to be idiots for participating.

    Individual-Fail4709 21 hr. ago Sold cars for a while in college. In our sales meetings, occasionally the GM or SM would "motivate" the crew of salespeople by throwing a bunch of $1 and a few $5 bills into the crowd.

    euph_22 20 hr. ago That's definitely a workers comp case waiting to happen too... There are definitely ways of doing a similar give away that is just as fun without the degradation and physical violence. And of course your bosses will have zero interest in those, because that is the point (they probably imagine that is part of the "fun").

    meontheweb. 20 hr. ago This is so degrading. Our company has a raffle, I usually opt out as a manager. I think ALL managers should, but that's just me. We did bring out +1s and a couple of those won (their SO were senior managers).
