      At least his employees now know the kind of person he really is: he tried to portray himself as some chill guy who will buy them snacks, but in fact he’ll go from zero to Hitler extremely quickly over some chips.

      Very good self own that negates the whole point of buying the chips in the first place, lmao.

      edit: I can’t emphasize enough how stupid throwing a tantrum over the chips was. How much could they have cost him in a month? He even said they were bought in bulk. Even large corporations realize their refreshment funds are an expense whose point is to keep employees happy (well, to try to placate them with some trinkets or food, at least).

        The last few companies I’ve worked at would schedule one day a year to go do ‘community service’. There would usually be way too many people to have most of them be utilized. And even then, most of charities we did stuff for were religious based (a couple times literally a higher-ups church).

        The HR people would spend the whole day staging photos. Then they would use this one day to brag about how much they give back. They would also post this all over social media and on their website. I think most of them honestly believed that they were some great asset to the community because of this.

          Local banks and businesses constantly donate to do-nothing charities which they themselves control and then brag about it in the local real estate and car dealership advertisement bundles newspapers even though every penny they give is tax-deductible.

        He literally says it’s a few hundred per year.

        Hope every employee walks down the road and fills out an application.

        I have known exactly one good restaurant owner in my life. He cooked free meals for his staff at the end of each night, and the food was excellent. He had two restaurants (one after the other) which were really considered by everyone to be the best in town. Within a few years he had gone out of business and moved away. Dude was far from perfect but the system itself disadvantages those rare capitalists who are not raving lunatic psychopaths.
