What if remote work didn’t mean working from home?

True, you got a point, but consider: Saying a few words at lunch time can become a kind of automatism quickly. Perhaps inviting people to social time going out to eat somewhere will leave a more lasting memory. It might not be for everyone. For example people having children and all that. But it does give people a chance to be in a setting outside of work, but with people from the job, which might give a chance to bond through other topics.

I think there might not be the perfect reward/thank you for everyone.

There is actually.

It's called big stacks of money.

Oddly, companies don't seem to want to reward people with it, the one universal thing that basically everyone could appreciate and is the entire reason anyone works anywhere in the first place.

Crazy. It's almost like playing relatively small amounts for a big expensive catered meal saves the company way more money than rewarding people with meaningful sums of money would.

I am so bitter regarding this.

1. historically low wage growth 2. historically high difference between CEO and salaried employee wage 3. billions in dividends

How can people not see this as an issue?

I value a $50 gift or experience with my team far more than an extra $50 electronically added to my account. Presentation matters.

Well stop. You're the one encouraging this bad behavior.
