"Thanks for the part you play".....

whilst managers are jabbing us with "You're not working hard enough".

It's an empty message. They think a chocolate bar will make people go above and beyond. How about incentivising us with better overtime rates or a daily monetary bonus for completing.

Service failures impacting the delivery of chocolate? We got ours on the 1st.
Any Questions?
Yeah, how do I get out of this chickenshit outfit?

Ours have been sitting on a shelf in the office for a week, think the manager is worried about the feedback they might get at the moment :evil/mad

and even so, they get something back from the chocolate bar, an energy boost while we are out on the round. Imagine if every postie's goes jus that slightest bit faster so that we claim five minutes less overtime. Chocolate bar pays for itself.

For every "look at me" who says that, another ten will eagerly say "I'll have it if they don't want it".

Haven’t missed much. It certainly isn’t Lindt
It reminded Me of those sweet sugary chocolate spanner’s and tools that woolies sold at Xmas. Any one remember them?

We haven't had our chocolate bars handed out, yet. If it's anything like the Easter eggs that were supposed to be distributed during Covid, but sat in a store room for 3 months before mysteriously disappearing, they won't ever be.
