Company expects staff to cook food for their own employee appreciation event unpaid and off the clock, so one employee calls out boss for unlawful practice

We can all agree that most companies don't show enough appreciation for their employees and everything they do to keep these companies afloat. If it weren't for all the little guys, the big guys wouldn't get the insane payout that definitely has way too many dollar signs. It's a bit sinister to have employees work unpaid overtime at their own appreciation party, but I can't say I'm surprised. These companies will do anything possible to keep money in the higher-ups' pockets and take advantage of those who are lower on the corporate food chain.

The employee who posted this story tells the tale of how they bested their company after being expected to cook for an employee appreciation potluck. They believe the potluck was code for "we don't want to spend any money on you" and I have to say, I agree with them. They didn't cough up some extra dough for hard drinks and expected employees to spend their own time and money on cooking and ingredients. Instead of letting this happen, the employee confronts his boss in an outspoken manner and makes sure everyone knows that this practice will not continue. Scroll to see how the story unfolds.
