I’d almost prefer if they didn’t give notice to my birthday if I got that pizza
Coming in on his birthday
Wait, you have jobs where you don’t have to show up if it’s your birthday?
I always tell the months in advance that I’m going to take that day off. I haven’t been denied, and if they did I would just take the day off anyway.
It says “shift leader”. Shift work jobs have some flexibility for days off anyway, and if the management is nice they schedule the week so your birthday is free.
My current job and not my last job but the one before fhat yes. (Join a union)
We get birthdays off, not counting towards the 30 days paid holidays, which is completely separate from unlimited paid sick days. Oh, and also since last Wednesday, the entire company is on holidays, we’re back 2nd week of January. Doesn’t count towards the 30 days, of course 👍
Sounds nice, it’s good to see some people receive better conditions
I’ve never had that … But for the past seventeen years I’ve used PTO if my birthday wasn’t on the weekend and I haven’t been denied yet, so there’s that?
I have pto
I used to in a previous job. They brought in a thing where if your birthday fell on your usual shift day, you got it off at full pay.
There are also some places that might just do a nice, if not grandiose, gesture for someone on their birthday.
Previous place I worked it was pretty routine for a manager to grab one of those containers of store made cupcakes if it was someone’s birthday and they knew they didn’t mind, make sure they got one and leave the rest in the break room.
Never anything more or less than just a nice gesture.I’m guessing someone tried a nice gesture and it came out looking sad, so they posed for a picture for a chuckle and moved in. I don’t know anyone who would be really upset by being given a pizza bagel on their birthday.
Tbf it looks nicer than anything I would bring to work for lunch. I just bring in pasta from the night before and give it a ding 🤣
“I suddenly feel very sick.”
The pizza inexplicably gets tossed in the garbage and he’s homeward bound…
Damn, is that a Lunchables UPLOADED!?
I can’t decide if this is AI generated or if bro has size 38 shoes
If he is working at a place that requires steel or composite toes they will also look like clown shoes.
He’s clearly a big guy, look how far his legs extend past the edge of a normal chair.
Jesus it’s wild to think people would assume I’m an AI generated image based off of the fact that I wear a size 15 US (49 Euro).
Sure, that’s what an AI generated image would say
They don’t match either…
Why would he still have on his phone headset during lunch too?
Is it a headset? They .ight just be cheap headphones, but you don’t really see those anymore
Naw, you can make out the microphone bracket …it’s a headset
Huge feet. Must have absolutely massive socks.
A nightmare to shop for
… This is an AI pic and a probably fake description to go with it
This is not real.
There’s some wonkyness here, that’s for sure. The major thing that makes this look legit is that the mirror is dirty and it has a correct reflection for the person’s arm and the trashcan.
And the shoes (which are abnormally large) don’t look like any work boots I’ve ever seen, resembling trail running shoes but bigger. The laces seem to be oddly non-existent and instead the straps for lacing them appear to connect with each other.
AI can get reflections right, just when it doesn’t it can be very creepy.
I think I saw it before AI became that good
Where does the door frame siding go that runs from the floor up to the top of the wall? It just becomes wall
You nailed it with this one, it’s 100% AI
Quite a clear line
The first time I saw this pic, it had enough pixels to see it really looked real, at least to me
Higher res shows he has a plaster and the shelf is balancing on another shelf
Yes, and that depressing excuse for a pizza
The more I look into the high-res picture, the more mildly bleak details I notice.
- Torn plastic wrapping of tiny plastic bottles on the chipboard counter.
- His sleeve is mildly dirty.
- The shoes on the shelf seem awkward to access over the chair.
- The whiteboard has permanently marked spots “use me to write” and “use me to clean”, both empty.
- That “pizza” is barely an oversized muffin.
- Fire prohibited.
- The mirror is pretty dirty.
- Corner of the steel cabinet is a bit bent.
- The badly attached sheet of paper hanging from the whiteboard; you can’t read anything.
- On the top shelf of the cupboard, something is kinda balancing there.
- Cheap plates not perfectly aligned.
- ROTATE:
- ROTATE
- ROTATE
- ROTATE
- The pedal on the trash bin is weirdly bent.
Not that any of this really matters, though.
I mean, I wouldn’t expect a supermarket break room to be immaculately kept. It actually looks alright. Depends on how good of a place it is to work, etc. My guess is that most employees usually book their birthday off, this guy didn’t (some people just don’t bother, which is understandable) and some colleague was like “we had to do something”, so got a pizza from what they were allowed. I think there are pictures far more depressing than this (like Amazon’s Christmas dinner which was probably an actual big organised thing for a mass amount of people).
I know someone who works in a supermarket and colleagues usually give them a nice cake, but it’s passed its sell-by by a few days. It sounds depressing, but the cake is perfectly fine and would just be thrown out due to policy.
Green box is pushed against the wall like the shelf it’s on but somehow has more overhang on one side?
What about this picture makes you think it’s AI?
Left hand has a pinky/ring finger thing, the garbage can angle looks off because it comes towards you but the angle of the wall is going the other direction and if it’s against the wall, it would follow the angle of the wall
Edit to add more since I’m on mobile swapping between the two (inefficiently): the weird blue coat thing going down the back of the chair, seemingly no back legs to the chairs
Foot pedal of the garbage can is misaligned
Garbage can lid isn’t symmetrical
no buttons on his button-down shirt
The big cabinet casting a shadow the width of a chair leg on the left side (ironically right next to the chair on the left)
Shelving next to the chair’s shadow is misaligned at the bottom when it transitions from under the chair to above it
I’m on mobile, so maybe the photo isn’t loading at high resolution, but I don’t think your points lead me to believe AI generated this.
The finger looks a little odd, but it could just be the way the shadows fell. The garbage can doesn’t look flat against the wall. If you look in the reflection of the mirror, one corner is closer to the wall than the other, which would account for the distortion you mentioned. The blue coat of the back of the chair might just be a coat. The chair legs seem like they should be behind his leg and the trash can. The foot pedal on a plastic trash doesn’t seem like the sturdiest thing and can just bend. The lid seems symmetrical to me personally. There just aren’t enough pixels in the image for me to see if there are buttons or not.
Maybe I’m completely wrong and it is AI, but it seems to me like too many of the fine details match up with reality. It may also be the low resolution that makes things seem more realistic. If it is a fake image, I think it would be more likely that the photo was taken out of context or staged.
I mean it’s possible it’s real. But the seat of his chair has no leg under his butt cheek. If you zoom in and look at where the seat is going, you would expect a leg there at least to be visible
The reflection in the mirror makes me think this is surely real. Even the best AIs don’t understand mirrors
Any reason he should not have come in during his birthday?
Everyone should have PTO that they can use whenever they want.
Yes certainly.
We prefer taking days off around weekends or an entire week for holidays (valid for the part of Europe I been). But talking your birthday off is not particularly common practice although nothing is stopping you if you want to.
I know people who just take an extra day off on the weekend closest to their birthday. People do different stuff.
Because he had the day off, then came in anyway presumably because they called him in?
So, just making random shit up?
Id definitely read that as “coming in on his birthday, which he’d priorly arranged to have off”.
I’d say it looks kinda sad even if it was not eir day off, it shouldn’t necessarily look like that but this picture does
I asked because it sounded like a very common thing to do. Where I live the person celebrating is supposed to bring cake, snacks or something. He/she has plenty of time off, just not typical taken during one own birthday
That’s a man considering a new career.
Who needs table when you are truly “Loving your work.”.
IMO, it’s not even good phrasing and sounds hollow somehow.
Ate without table -3
That should easily be -30.
Making someone eat without a table is a war crime.
At least there are no laws on the RimAte human meat -5
Ate without table -60
not having a cannibal colony
We should totally overthrow the ruling class and establish a workers paradise, in Rimworld of course
That same pizza is also given to those before a layoff I bet.
So they leave by themselves?
To keep everyone on edge.
Not even a nice pizza either, that’s clearly just a shitty microwave pizza
Prolly Altoona pizza.
Nah, that’s a Tesco uniform so probably UK. It’ll be a Chicago Town mini pizza.
Wow, this looks unappetizing even in the company’s professionally-photographed marketing pages: https://chicagotown.com/the-range/deep-dish
Never heard of this brand before, and they claim to be the “number 1 pizza brand in America”.
The more I look at this pizza, the more I feels bad for the guy in the picture. I’m so sorry your life turned out this way, Cecil.
Advertising looks better than the pizza. But jokes aside, this is the type of rubbish that would hit the spot on a break at work after working on a cold winter’s day
Crusts go rock hard and the rest is too piping hot to eat out of the microwave. There’s a significant proportion of British people of a certain ages who’s formative impression of American pizza is this.
omfg that’s right, this is microwaved… The FAQ page is like: “Why do your Deep Dish pizzas not include the foil discs anymore?” and “My Deep Dish didn’t cook right in the microwave, am I doing something wrong?” I mean you might as well get a stack of cardboard and soak it in tomato sauce, at that point.
What’s even more depressing is they come in packs of 2 and he’s only been given one of them.
The second is given to the team to split onto everyone and celebrate, too
Truly Tesco’s generosity knows no bounds.

I got called in for an inventory audit on my birthday and ended up working from 8am to 2am the following morning.
What kind of pizza did you get?
