All these flavours, and you choose to be salty…
The irony of working in a salt production facility and getting overly salty about something so small is palpable. But who knows what else had been going on in this coworker's life that made her lose her cool over pizza? This was probably just the proverbial straw that broke the proverbial camel's back.
There is further irony here in that the pizza party has essentially become the symbol of everything that is wrong in a modern workplace, with empty, hollow gestures made to lazily board up gaping holes in employee morale and working conditions. It really is comical how what was once a kind gesture on a slow day of work has now become almost a caricature, a mascot, and a red flag signifier of a toxic workplace.
Clearly, pizza parties work for some, as it was apparently something that this part-time worker just couldn't live without. When the company decided to hold a pizza party for morale on a day she didn't work, she lost her cool and set an ultimatum: either serve her pizza on a day she was working or accept her resignation. The company, perhaps wisely, decided to take her up on her exit and called her bluff, which turned out to be disastrous for the employee.
