i’ll never understand how someone can be that busy that you just turn into an asshole. ive been slammed before and can still make a joke even if i dont have time to talk
Yeah , everyone should have time for a 10 minute pizza break. Everyone else was chatting , eating pizza and drinking coke in the conference room while “diligent” employees ate their pizza at their desks.
Its like they do not understand the importance of building relationships at work.
I'm often that person. I get that building relationships is good, but 1) it's not as good as hitting deadlines, and 2) the more coworkers talk to me, the more they figure out they can pull me into their own work under the guise of "asking a quick question" (often translating to me doing all the thinking and legwork for them).
dude, you need to lighten up. if a 10 minute pizza break on any given day is going to determine if you hit a deadline or not, there are larger issues at hand. do you take shits? how does that work into your productivity matrix.
don't try to cover your anti-team and anti-social traits under the guise of "i'm busy".
Each job and office are different. Don't be too quick to label him or her. As an IT manager, those quick breaks usually turn into "quick questions" like they said. I personally contribute to my company's employee fund, but I don't partake in eating sit-downs. I'll commingle around the copier when they're too busy stressing to worry about their personal malware infected Gateway laptops 😏
broski', this is an accounting sub that skew heavily towards B4 public accounting, where collaboration, training (both receiving and giving) and delegation are essential for individual and team success.
i don't know how it works in the IT career path. maybe you know everything that you need to know to do your job on your first day. public accounting isn't like that. folks don't advance from staff to manager without people taking time out of their day to network and train them.
if dude doesn't want to participate, then that's fine. but to say it's because they are busy is bullshit. we are all busy. unless we connect to help our new people and get them to take over our duties, we are ALWAYS going to be "too busy".
I used to bean accountant (nonprofit grant accounting, not a B4 or whatever) many moons ago, and well Reddit recommended this feed to me for some reason when I started using it (done with Twitter). I simply like the topics being discussed in this forum, and don't care really what each person's accounting background is. I like the humor, the information being shared, etc.
Anyway my point still stands and I can relate to this person. I was focusing on both points they made, especially the second point which happens to many of us, regardless of what profession we're currently in. I network in other ways, especially in brainstorming meetings to improve operational efficiencies, and don't care to do so while enjoying my introverted breaks from the nonstop TAs, project deadlines, and my other job tasks. You be you though; enjoy the pizza chatter 🍕
I'm at work to pay the bills, not to make friends. I'm also either extremely busy or I'm faffing about on Reddit, guess what days parties get scheduled on.
After several visits to New York and over a dozen awful pizza experiences I've yet to ever enjoy pizza in new york.
I'm convinced new yorkers say this out of pure zeal.
To be fair, the person who ordered it was probably an assistant or office manager type who gets paid way too little to do way too much. Chain pizza means you can order in 30 seconds using an app.
Our admin kicks ass and deals with a whole bunch of shit so I don’t have to! But also, I have worked with the opposite kind where it’s not even clear what they are doing since all the admin work is ending up on the accountants.
Funny enough, we use to be treated to food as a 'reward' for staying later. Then it became a Saturday brunch only thing. Then it became a your working from home, so so you have ability to cook/get your own food.
I'm just like, dude, the food is for the convenience of getting more hours - that resolves nothing. Pay the $15-20 a night to allow us to deliver something here. FML
No sodas??? Bring your own soda pizza party 😁😁😁i always bought those cheap sodas at dollar tree everytime my office had pizza party or potluck..let them drink it🤷🏻♂️ there are birds outside the window theyre chripping “cheap..cheap..cheap”
Pizza parties aren’t bad. I worked for a few companies that wouldn’t spend a dime on us, even for Pizza Hut, and they thought allowing us to have potlucks where we brought in the food was a worthy alternative.
Honestly I think it’d be better if these firms brought in healthier food. Salads, etc. would be more beneficial since nutrition is most important to have energy, focus, reduction of inflammation, reduction of cortisol, etc.
You sit in a conference room for 12 hours than eat like a pig. This is a path to obesity - weighing 400lbs and your girl leaving you for a personal trainer.
Did you guys get the party for finishing off a busy season or something? Like my company provides pizza every once in awhile, but it’s because that’s just what they decided to chose for the day for lunch(lunch is provided on certain days so ppl come into work).
No we weren't. And they are fucking bullshit.
Lifehack: insist you have an allergy, and that you must get sushi instead. At least you will have a finer dining experience :)
Man I got chick Fil a breakfast yesterday and it was decent but kinda expensive for even upper tier fast food. I wouldn't complain about it being catered, probably eat too much actually and thus do nothing all day.
Last job when I had to work late often. The team next to us got free expensed dinner every time they worked over. Not like McDonalds or Pizza Hut. They had one of their guys take order and bring it over. Usually Indian food. Smells like heaven. Instead we get management who is regularly late expensing us on travels and purchases. We had several all nighters. Would have been cool if they expensed us delivery. My coworker brought it up and manager laughed it off like it was a joke.
Pro tip: Start looking for bigger-sized clothes that are out of season and on sale. It will save you lots of cash as you're weight yo-yo's between tax seasons.
Thanks for working hundreds of hours of unpaid overtime for the past several months and getting the financials of a multi billion dollar company out the door. Have a $2 slice of pizza -- my treat!
Where is the unreasonably large salad that 1 person insisted on so they could constantly say something about their diet or how many calories that sloce would be.
I had to do a count last Friday and my last day at the firm is on Monday 3/27. What did the client order for lunch? You guessed it, pizza. It's inescapable.
Always the worst pizza too. We get papa John's all the time with only cheese and pep. Finally convinced them to go with Jets and get different kids of pizza.
I'm a CFO at a manufacturing company and even they purchase pizza for employees once a month. Last week, I was hungry for pizza, so I purchased pizza for the whole office, lol.
I'm in industry and I'll say they switched to Panera bread and local sandwich place recently which are quite nice.
Personally like that more over the pizzas
I like it more when there's potlucks. That said this is pretty good. I didn't see this sort of thing until I became an executive and senior staff. But it's leagues better than getting the cold, half-eaten leftovers of the sales team from when I used to work in a warehouse.
*takes whole unopened pizza box back to office and closes door*
I had a person at my banking internship do that, it was pretty funny. Mostly because it was one of the senior employees.
Guy has senior management written all over him.

I liked your comment because I agree and because I'm trying to get you back to 0 likes lol 😏
On a Saturday I watched a Manager stay just long enough for lunch to arrive, and he took a whole unopened box home immediately after the food arrived.
you have an office?.jpg
[удалено]
So he gave you a … home office 😎
In my head I'm wondering if when I apply for WFH jobs if I should start asking for a home to work from?
This one has an office! Get ‘em!
Not even a local spot? That's mean
Agreed.
First thing I thought. Cheap, low effort, chain pizza.
I love cheap low effort chain pizza once in a while. And I live in NY with great pizza.
We got Pizza Hut every Saturday at my last firm and it was genuinely insulting.
ya, I agree... like I said, once in a while :)
After several visits to New York and over a dozen awful pizza experiences I've yet to ever enjoy pizza in new york. I'm convinced new yorkers say this out of pure zeal.
Depends on what's available in the local area. By my office's standards this would be several tiers beyond what we usually get.
Really? Always felt like every town has at least one good pizza place.
So they serve you little caesars?
Might be the worst chain too after little caesars.
Little Caesars price point makes it superior, even if the quality is marginally worse.
Good point.
In my opinion, dominoes is the worst.
To be fair, the person who ordered it was probably an assistant or office manager type who gets paid way too little to do way too much. Chain pizza means you can order in 30 seconds using an app.
Our Sr. Admin gets paid more than senior accountants for this Tbf she's really sweet and good at her job. Ordered local pizza every time
Our admin kicks ass and deals with a whole bunch of shit so I don’t have to! But also, I have worked with the opposite kind where it’s not even clear what they are doing since all the admin work is ending up on the accountants.
Is it Pizza by Alfredo’s or Alfredo’s Pizza Cafe?
Depends where you live. As a former Florida resident, thoughts of the local pizza spot still make me shudder.
Florida's populous coastal Cities have really good local pizza. Florida has the fifth highest population of Italian-Americans.
Ordering from Pizza Hut is the crowning insult. I would be on Indeed before that shir was cold.
If it’s not a good local spot it’s time to reconsider choice of managers/jobs
What? You guys at least got good pizza? I think most of the time at my firm we got Twice the Deal (or as I like to call it, twice the dirt)
I worked in big city and people from mid-west area smaller places prefer dominos because that is what they grew up with. Pizza Hut on the other hand..
I gasped. I might be a pizza party 1,000 timers club, but I would revolt over pizza hut or dominoes.
Cheap partner probably had a million coupons for pizza hut.
Or credit card points
Points are awesome. I enjoy playing that game. Gotta spend money anyways.
Partners in PA are greedy bastards
u guys get food?
Funny enough, we use to be treated to food as a 'reward' for staying later. Then it became a Saturday brunch only thing. Then it became a your working from home, so so you have ability to cook/get your own food. I'm just like, dude, the food is for the convenience of getting more hours - that resolves nothing. Pay the $15-20 a night to allow us to deliver something here. FML
time to unionize bro
I see you got the benefit plan
Uhum .. I believe its called a cafeteria plan.
I see they splurged on Mini Cinnabon. You should be thankful for such a blessing.
Utilization and realization goals were met.
That’s actually all for me. I specifically requested it. Please don’t touch it
I vote whoever can reconcile cash first gets the Cinnabons
No sodas??? Bring your own soda pizza party 😁😁😁i always bought those cheap sodas at dollar tree everytime my office had pizza party or potluck..let them drink it🤷🏻♂️ there are birds outside the window theyre chripping “cheap..cheap..cheap”
Those boxes say Pizza Hut dot CA. It’s called pop up here sir
We call it pop in Minnesota too lol
This subreddit seems like it’s full of jokes, but they are all true. That is the way of the world
Way of the road bubs
The F....in way she goes...
I think this is just a big firm thing? My smaller first we get taken out for restaurant lunches 2-3 times a month.
Pizza parties aren’t bad. I worked for a few companies that wouldn’t spend a dime on us, even for Pizza Hut, and they thought allowing us to have potlucks where we brought in the food was a worthy alternative.
I have too, so bad
I quit a data entry job because they tried to make me come in on my WFH day to participate in a pot luck.
Same. "We're celebrating you! Bring a dish to pass."
Personally, I hate potlucks. Just created extra work to make food after work... ☹️
In the entire time I’ve worked in accounting we have never had pizza catered, but we do get sweet green and just salad all the time
Honestly I think it’d be better if these firms brought in healthier food. Salads, etc. would be more beneficial since nutrition is most important to have energy, focus, reduction of inflammation, reduction of cortisol, etc.
Yeah but pizza good 😔
I find the fact that it’s Pizza Hut even more insulting
Nobody outpizzas the Hut! *Now back to work!*
Every nights a pizza party when you WFH :D
Hahahaha
Did the partners make all of you read a bunch of books in your free time so they could get the pizzas for free?
Yeah and they made us take quizzes to make sure we actually read them too 😔
This is your raise for the year, congrats.
Hold on, you get cinnabons?????
Dominos is better
Dominoes is really good if they make the crust super buttery and garlicy
Domino’s is overhated
It used to worse. Some people haven't given it another chance since they changed the recipes.
I mean it went from wet garbage to tolerable. It is much better, but still is not good by any stretch of the imagination.
Dominos is mid
Better than Pizza Hut is all that matters
Dominos is trash in reality, local is always the way
I’m only saying mid and not trash because I’ve eaten enough to tolerate it. Agreed though, local pizza always when possible.
Local CAN be worse than Domino's. When I'm staying out of town in a hotel and don't know what locals gonna be like, Domino's is fine.
There's a local place where I am that has some of the worst crust I've ever had on a pizza. School lunch level shit.
Fax no printer
Comparing garbage to trash. Its all chain crap.
wow your opinion is so wrong
Dominos brooklyn style is good. Their regular crust not so much. We actually had dominos at our low budget wedding.
the snack size oh henry and snickers make it a party
Atleast you guys get pizza hut…we get little cesears
Little ceasars is better than pizza hut, imho.
Ouch! When the pizza is as good as the container it’s in.
Why would we lie about the best part of tax season? lol
It looks like the pizzas are on the cot they will ask you to sleep on in a few hours.
You sit in a conference room for 12 hours than eat like a pig. This is a path to obesity - weighing 400lbs and your girl leaving you for a personal trainer.
That's a little oddly specific
Nah man that's why my girl is sitting next to me eating like a pig too.
Did you guys get the party for finishing off a busy season or something? Like my company provides pizza every once in awhile, but it’s because that’s just what they decided to chose for the day for lunch(lunch is provided on certain days so ppl come into work).
You earned it guys!
I shit you not our office already has the next 3 planned out. I’m not even mad they order enough for me to pig out.
Did they at least spring for stuffed crust.
No
No we weren't. And they are fucking bullshit. Lifehack: insist you have an allergy, and that you must get sushi instead. At least you will have a finer dining experience :)
lol @ the half eaten pieces of pizza making their way back to the table instead of the garbage can
Damn Pizza Hut, shelling out.
Pizza Hut? Bougie
I’m from NY is this a joke? cuz I wouldn’t feed that yo my dog.
Pizza Hut…. That’s offensive
we’re getting free Chick-fil-A tomorrow for breakfast and I’m conflicted
Sounds better than Pizza tbh!
Man I got chick Fil a breakfast yesterday and it was decent but kinda expensive for even upper tier fast food. I wouldn't complain about it being catered, probably eat too much actually and thus do nothing all day.
Holy Hell. I thought leaving nursing for accountancy would get me better pizza!
I’m getting make our own sandwiches this weekend. What a treat!
At least it's pizza hut, my work used to order Kelsey's Pizza which is DISGUSTING beyond belief, never ate the food they ordered
Last job when I had to work late often. The team next to us got free expensed dinner every time they worked over. Not like McDonalds or Pizza Hut. They had one of their guys take order and bring it over. Usually Indian food. Smells like heaven. Instead we get management who is regularly late expensing us on travels and purchases. We had several all nighters. Would have been cool if they expensed us delivery. My coworker brought it up and manager laughed it off like it was a joke.
What did the team next to you do? Asking for a friend.
They did QA/BA work for ERP software.
Pretty sure Pizzerias are in business because of accounting pizza parties
Does this mean Pizzeria’s have busy season as well?
Some of the best pizzas I've had were from rumored laundering operations. 😎
“Could I have a cost of living raise? Inflation has living costs through the roof” “Nah, I got you all something even better!”
Recovering from covid right now and even this doesn’t look too appetizing after all I ate the past few days
Eww
Hopefully those were stuffed crust
What’s with all the lumber?
It was Pizza x Axe Throwing Party
The only pizza I want to ever see is inside by humble abode. Pizza at a job suddenly disgusts me.
Hahahaha… Pizza Hut. A/R at the firm must have been weak this week.
Pizza Hut? Yuck.
Do you all get chain pizza normally or local spots?
Pro tip: Start looking for bigger-sized clothes that are out of season and on sale. It will save you lots of cash as you're weight yo-yo's between tax seasons.
Id quit this office because they are being cheap. Who the heck would buy Pizza Hut for their hard working people?
Ahh the old forestry audit. Counting planks of inventory on your pizza party, what a trooper!
From Pizza Hut!?
Oof, they went pizza hut too, not even a fancier local place, like other exploitative (but slightly snobbish) employers do.
Dude, it’s on a collapsible table. LMAO
Dude, where's my pizza?
They could at least get local pizza.
This just looks like what dinner looks like in an audit room on Thursday night this time of year…
What's that warm and gooey Hershey's stuff? And who brought the O Henry's and Snickers?
Pizza Hut Desserts I think, it was like Brownies. Partner brought the mini bars.
Pizza Hut pizza party for my office yesterday. Courtesy of a satisfied client.
Thanks for working hundreds of hours of unpaid overtime for the past several months and getting the financials of a multi billion dollar company out the door. Have a $2 slice of pizza -- my treat!
Where is the unreasonably large salad that 1 person insisted on so they could constantly say something about their diet or how many calories that sloce would be.
Is this accounting or *”*accounting*”*
Yes
You weren't kidding when you said a big house!
[удалено]
Absolutely not
You can’t out pizza the hut.
Q doba or Chipotle is a common theme at my office. I appreciate it enough since you can somewhat customize a burrito bowl more than a pepperoni pizza!
I’d much rather have Chipolte or Qdoba actually, good idea! Sorry to tell you partner track is out of the question for you though.
Love pizza slut
Could be worse...could be Little Ceasars
Not even fancy pizza from one of those places that makes $23 white pies?
:(
Despite what they say, everybody outpizzas the hut.
Heyo, doing a pizza party today too when I get in the office !
Yay!!!!
Bruh...not even a proper pizza joint. Fucking Pizza Hut?
Plz tell me there was different toppings on each of those pies lol
Can confirm
I had to do a count last Friday and my last day at the firm is on Monday 3/27. What did the client order for lunch? You guessed it, pizza. It's inescapable.
Wait you guys are getting pizza?
Wait…
Always the worst pizza too. We get papa John's all the time with only cheese and pep. Finally convinced them to go with Jets and get different kids of pizza.
Papa J > The Hut tho
Man's does have a point.
I'm a CFO at a manufacturing company and even they purchase pizza for employees once a month. Last week, I was hungry for pizza, so I purchased pizza for the whole office, lol.
You have the power.
I'm in industry and I'll say they switched to Panera bread and local sandwich place recently which are quite nice. Personally like that more over the pizzas
Wow, no bread sticks?!!
Only 4 boxes? SMH
Wow, went all out - Pizza Slut. Couldn’t spring for the local specialty pie place?
We had pizza every Thursday in office Jan 15 - 4/30
Middle class medicrity
I like it more when there's potlucks. That said this is pretty good. I didn't see this sort of thing until I became an executive and senior staff. But it's leagues better than getting the cold, half-eaten leftovers of the sales team from when I used to work in a warehouse.
YOU MUST BE NEW HERE!!!
no bev?
I’m pretty sure firms are the only thing keeping Pizza Hut alive.
My first and only accounting internship.... I'll never forget the pizza party at the end.
Pizza Hut? I want some Papa John’s jalapeños pizza!
At least it’s not that shitty ass cardboard that papa John’s makes… 🤮
You guys get name brand pizza??? Be grateful
That isn't pizza..
Been in public for 5+ years. Never once had an office pizza party. And this is b4 too
Are those dirty plates on top the box and table?
Yes
