Employers will do just about anything except pay their employees more, and these 22 "gifts" are proof that "appreciation" is about appearances only. Except, they could definitely "appear" a whole lot better.
Sometimes no apology is better than a dishonest one, and the same goes for thank you's. We know you don't give a dang about anything other than your bottom line. At least be upfront about it, you're not fooling a single one of these slighted workers.
