Your Employee Well-Being Committee is pleased to announce that {Employer's Name Here} employees will be eligible for a 10% discount at McDonald's. This only applies to the McDonald's on the corner of Elm and Main and you must show your ID badge before you pay.Note: I edited nothing except for removing my employer's identifying information. The massive (red) font was their choice.
McDonald’s does have some healthy options -please make wise choices!
Their previous email was about including veggies as part of your New Year's Resolutions so I'm not quite sure how to follow their logic. Or if I even want to follow it. I particularly like the fact that McDonald's does have some healthy options.
I wish I could say I'm surprised to see such weirdness come from this committee. This past Summer, they offered a "complimentary nutrition class or evaluation". That's exactly what I want. A complimentary evaluation. "My, Cate, you're looking quite well today! Gee, your hair smells terrific! Have you lost 30 pounds because your body is ROCKIN'!".

Yum. Fries is a veggie. Can I supersize that?
Our Health and Wellness "people" allow a $500 allowance per year to spend on "healthy living". They do not allow me to utilize the funds for glasses, but Blackberry's are okay. Hmmmm. And I agree with MuseSwings...fries are technically a vegetable.
The veggie & McDonald's diet... I so did not see that one coming.
MuseSwings - not only can you supersize it, but you'll save 10% on the supersizing. What a deal!
Andrea - bizarre policy from your people. Glasses are purely cosmetic I'm sure.
A - these are the same people that told me shortterm disbility is for "pregnancy and other illnesses" so I'm sure it makes sense to them somehow.
I don't think I can work at a place who has a commitee that would remind me to choose wisely at McDonalds. What if you didn't? Do they take away your 10%
Fries are a veggie, so it ketchup and a shake is dairy!
Wife O Riley - I'm pretty sure if you choose the Big Mac they'll take your birthday away.
I'm totally ordering a Big Mac if it will make my birthday stop. Where has this program been my whole life?
Seriously though, they need some new HR people. We aren't all that clueless, I promise :)
Lyndsay - when you put it that way, yes, I'll have a Big Mac as well! I'm sure there must be a lot of great HR folks out there - something about working where I do seems to scrape the bottom of the barrel in all departments. Except for me, because I'm too awesome for them.
Lol! I need one of those compliment sessions too!
A constant discount at McDonalds would get me in trouble.
Yaya - McDonald's I can still avoid. But Wendys or Hardees? I'd be in so much trouble.
