Not to bitch about free food -- free food is good food -- but I've noticed the workforce uses food as a bandaid to cover more glaring absences like pay and benefits.

I've worked in a small handful of different industries prior to settling in healthcare, and it was (and still is) a recurring pattern: the jobs that had the best fringe benefits had the worst actual benefits. I'm positive there are exceptions to this on both ends of the spectrum, but it does prompt the question: are you not getting shit because your corp compensates you well enough that they don't need to bother with fringe shit? Or are you not getting shit because they fall on that worst-of-both-worlds end of the spectrum?

If it's the latter, start updating that resume.

As the a restaurant manager who has looked at the date of an event, looked at the actual date, then looked at the date of the event again, looked at the sheet he gave the kitchen, looked at the extra servers on the schedule who were about to come in, looked back at the date, looked back at the email, realized that its the 25th and not the 18th, then had to go into the kitchen where several people are prepping for that event and have to lie to everyone "hey, they had to cancel and move it to next week. Don't worry we can just do whatever with the food, they understand and are basically paying twice"
