Ick, I wouldn't be happy to be provided with hot dogs, free or otherwise, unless they are going to be eaten far from the office so the smell didn't hang around all afternoon and I then could eat my own lunch and not worry about it!

Yeah, I don't really see the connection with valentine's day, I'd imagine cookies with pink icing in heart shapes or something like that would be more appropriate!

Anyway, sounds like they are doing their best to make their employees feel appreciated, which is more than we get, though I'd rather have a pay rise than the money be wasted on too many gimmicks (2 weeks till my delayed pay rise, back dated to June!!)

it seems like many company's idea of showing their appreciation is to feed us unhealthy food - LOL! my last company always gave us pizza or hot dogs, and this company always does cake or pie. But Pie I'm very happy to indulge:)
I'm not a huge fan of hot dogs, but I guess I'll eat one to be appreciative. but it does seem cookies are more appropriate for valentine's day:)

my company already told us that there will be no pay raises this year - they've frozen salaries. so I guess that's why they feel the need to do other stuff to show they care.

well the sad thing is that I'm moving this June anyway so I will be unemployed. I didn't even expect a pay raise but now I"ll be poor! oh well.

That must be a really scary thought, I hope you find something quite soon after you move.

yea I'm a bit worried, but I am also looking forward to taking a couple months off and just traveling, being with family, and relaxing. I should have enough money saved to get me by for a short time. but soon enough I'll have to find something:)
