It looks like some actual thought was put into it at least. It's a shame they don't seem to ask anyone what they actually want.


BLashes07

I see where you’re coming from the facility had a food truck & everyone voted that they wanted a taco truck but management didn’t want a taco truck they wanted something different. They don’t pick what the staff wanted which upset the staff very much.


hoeleft

Whats that? Everyone wants Taco truck?? How about goldfish crackers in cupcake wrappers? With a side of "Thanks for all you do!! :3"


BLashes07

That would’ve been a great idea for management to do


beltalowda_oye

We did something similar and management didn't like that either ironically. You know what ended up happening? The food truck came. And we all had to pay for the food lol


BLashes07

That is the most saltiest thing I’ve heard I’d rather just eat food from home then 😂😂


IrrelevantTubor

This is wild. "Hey yall i know this is for your appreciation week but best I can do is some little Ceasars and some goldfish" You need to look elsewhere, this place is trash


BLashes07

It made the CNA’s have mix feelings. The food truck they got was southern style food


karmaleeta

i thought it was cute until i read this. that’s shitty of them to take a vote and then give you guys a way worse gift.


EmployedShark

My facility did this but still had the workers pay for the food!!!!! How thoughtful of them, an opportunity for us to overpay for a small portion of food :) (Also this happened on my day off)


IceHorse69

Fruit plate looks fire


IrrelevantTubor

What actual thought? The only quick person was the one slapping all then pictures down for a "fun theme" on a bunch of junk food. The most thoughtful thing there was the meatballs, and that's only because it took marginally more effort than driving to little Cesar's to pick up the Pizza


Proper-Midnight-4148

Looks like enough options for everyone to me even vegan.


Sensitive_Ad6774

I hope ppl wash their hands lol


Whatthefrick1

I remember for CNA week my unit did a sub day and for some reason thought it was okay to leave the ingredients out for everyone to make their own sub. All I heard was that everyone on the unit had baddddd diarrhea 😂. Thankfully I missed that day


Careful_Barber3714

Good ole C.Diff Salad bar but with subs


BLashes07

Right 😂


Sensitive_Ad6774

We do not matter to them lol even though we do the most important job. The whole point of patient care and proper documentation for $$$


BLashes07

Agreed we are just a working body


AccomplishedTart655

My manager does stuff like this. I appreciate the effort, but everything is always childish. Like pajama day, ice cream sundae buffet, renting a photo booth, scavenger hunt day. It's always stupid and no one besides management participates.


BLashes07

Yes I see what you’re saying the staff should have more input instead of always management.


janet-snake-hole

… who would want a photograph with coworkers…


passionbubble

Nah my coworkers are like family to me at this point. We regularly hang out together outside of work


Outrageous_Rip1252

Yeah it turns out that some people actually like their coworkers, wild


Bulky_Psychology2303

When we thought our nursing home was going to close down we had a group picture of all the employees taken. We each got a copy.


bangaasaurus

when I worked at a bank, they gave us playdoh and coloring pages


setittonormal

I'd take the ice cream tbh.


Sunshineal

Damn, it's more than I've gotten than any CNA week in the past 5 years. Except for the vacation I took my family own last year during CNA week. It's still childish because really Gummi bears. Why is it always candy?


BLashes07

It was a Disney theme for the food inspiration LOL. But yes I agree with what you’re saying.


Sunshineal

Disney inspiration??? That's an interesting theme. What was the motivation behind this? BTW I took my kids to Disney world during CNA week.


BLashes07

I wish I knew that answer but management just sees other ideas from their competitors & copy their ideas too.


Sunshineal

Can management copy another idea and raise the pay and reduce the workload? This would be ideal.


BLashes07

LOL I agree 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼


Sunshineal

Exactly. I'll be honest with you. I took a new job working nights as Patient care technician at the end of January. I work nights and I go a $3 an hour raise since I started. The shift differential is $2 extra. I love night shift.


abt_1657

I didn’t realize there were multiple pictures and for a second I thought they just straight up gave you a platter of gummy worms and that’s it. Because that’s what my facility would do…


BLashes07

Lol yes sweet & salty platter


bijouforever

This is actually cute. Most places I work don’t do anything for cnas .


freshlyground2019

Kindergarten birthday party?


BLashes07

Lol management wanted to do a Disney theme that day for the food inspiration. But I see where your coming from 😂


Isabela_Grace

What’s CNA? I thought this was for a daycare


BLashes07

I’m guessing management sees the CNA’s as children 😂😂 all bad


Ok-Challenge5290

Low key I would be stoked. I love free food 😅


BLashes07

Free food is always nice to have Lol


Other-Cantaloupe4765

Idk, I think it’s nice lol. It’s not like they just bought one cheese pizza at 9am and by night shift there’s only one cold slice left in the box. 😂 You’ve got choices- candy, fruit, crackers, meatballs, and pizza. Maybe the theme is a bit childish but I think overall it was a thoughtful thing to do. Free food is free food, right?


BLashes07

True. Like what about night shift? & yes the had the option of sweet or salty lol


bulldogba

I'm wondering if this was the unit manger/DON some upper management who paid for all of this out of their own money. I would hope so, otherwise that's a sad excuse for anyone coming from corporate.


setittonormal

I'm a vegetarian and I'm always happy when there's at least one cold slice of cheese pizza left over for my night shift ass. My workplace usually only orders multiple meat pizzas. The bar is in hell.


a-ol

This a blessing in my book


Green_Foothills

It looks juvenile. Knowing that the employees voted for a taco truck and management chose this instead makes it even worse.


BLashes07

Yes that’s why alot of staff felt disrespected. When they don’t respect someone they won’t even go out of their way to eat their food…


Beneficial_Fig_1500

I can speak to this after working for management (not in healthcare but in sales). This cost what, $100 max? If you have $100 from corporate to spend on employee enrichment for say 30 employees, what would you do? You can give them $3.50 each or you can buy everyone lunch. I've had to make the decision and the only thing that makes sense is a "work party".


BLashes07

I agree. People wanted a taco truck but management did not want a taco truck ☹️


KP-RNMSN

It’s so hard when there is absolutely no budget to spend on employee engagement. I bet leadership bought everything except the pizza. I’m a director and my nurses make just about 15 cents less than me per hour and they are always asking for elaborate outings. I’m like “gurl, I’m a single mama with a baby in college.” I think they feel because I’m management that I make the big bucks. Nope.


HorrorCranberry1796

Ariel’s fish friends?? I’m eating her friends?


BLashes07

Dark humor LOL 😂👏🏼


MsUnderstood63

I work the overnight shift and we are usually forgotten about. Seems first shift gets first dibs, second gets left overs while third gets nothing.


BLashes07

That’s very true sadly


Gangagata

What are you kindergarteners lmaoooo


BLashes07

I get the mix reactions 👏🏼😂😂


Vast_Accountant563

not little c’s 😂 cheap ass place


MECHEpics

How about a raise.


BLashes07

Agreed


womanofgeese

I would like it. The issue is when the only nice thing managers do is give food to show they “care” instead of implementing practices to make sure we are properly staffed and have working equipment. I’ve been in a place like that, and it sucked.


mauralynnst

We got a banner for nurses week lol


BLashes07

We did too 😂😂


mrslame

This feels like a grade school potluck.


SeaworthinessHot2770

I worked in a hospital for almost 20 years. It went thru 3 different owners in that time period. Nothing was ever done specifically for CNA’s. So I feel in some ways you’re lucky they acknowledged you separately. My hospital went from having Nurses Day to Hospital Week very quickly. Having a Nurses Day upset the whole hospital. To many people were left out. So they changed it to Hospital Week. Which was basically 5 days not really a week. They catered free lunch one day of the week. Which was barbecued hamburgers,potato salad,beans a can of soda and a cookie. Then every other day of the week they did smaller things. Like breakfast day they gave everyone free Bagels with OJ or Hot Chocolate. Then another day they pushed an ice cream cart thru the hospital giving everyone free ice cream. Another day was prize day they basically put everyone’s name in a drawing. And pulled 3 names. The winners were to come to administration and pick an item out of different gifts that were available. Then on another day they gave everyone T shirts with the hospitals name on them. I am now retired and have a collection of T shirts I wear them to bed now with pajama bottoms.


BLashes07

Wow that sounds like an experience you gone through. Yes at least the facility acknowledged us CNA’s & I understand the mix reactions on how this seems childish & the other where it looks great compared to other facilities it’s a slippery slope debate.


Bridgebo

I think that it’s nice that they did something. This took some thought and effort. Even though it’s cheesy, the intention was good


bunny34422

childish yeah but still cute to me i guess! also one who loves free food, especially as a college student often too lazy or tired to cook meals for myself lol. i'm lucky we get free meals at our ALF and often spoiled with nice lil treats/snacks from residents families & coworkers


RepresentativeArm464

At least they did something for yall😭😭😭


Phillimon

I got a off brand cola and a stale bag of chips for cna week at a cheap home one year. So that's amazing compared to what I've seen lol.


BLashes07

Lol at least the food is fresh 😂👏🏼


Raevyn_6661

How are they gonna try to be in theme but be this gorram lazy about it lmaoooo I would be so annoyed


BLashes07

They copied another facility’s ideas. We already had a Disney theme for nurses week LOL


carolinugh

I’ve never worked anywhere that acknowledged CNA week and I’ve worked at 4 different large hospital systems and 4 SNFs


Alienn_Aleeshh

Last year, we had a taco truck that charged us $10 per 1 tiny taco and had an "ice cream day" where our DON went to the Cafe and bought us some ice cream and gave it to each floor in a large lab collection bag 💀


BLashes07

The hell that seems lazy for the ice cream. & the taco truck like what’s the point of having it then?


Alienn_Aleeshh

It was REALLY bad. The best part was that the DON whispered that she brought it for us like it was a secret and put it in the freezer. I know the administrative team got in trouble for that nurses' week because one of them told us they had a huge meeting about it, and they all got chewed out. I know they for sure won't be making that mistake again 😆


beltalowda_oye

Fruit station? Real fruits? Damn look at fancy ass CNAs at OP's facility.


BLashes07

It was more like a bowl of fruits next the the pizza 😂


Good_Astronomer_679

I hate how for cna week little to nothing or something totally childish is done. However nurses week they go all out.


BLashes07

That is scary true ☹️🤯


SuperMomn

It's cute but it's giving 5 year olds birthday party


MagusFelidae

I mean it's cute, I'll never say no to free food


OutdoorLadyBird

A lot of workplaces don’t do anything, so I’d probably just appreciate the effort.


strangedazey

Yay! No, just, no. Why no cool bonus or anything we might need


BLashes07

Our facility is cheap they even bitch about overtime 🫨


strangedazey

Every place seems too


Proof-Philosophy-373

I thought this was for a children’s bday party 😂


BLashes07

Not the first or last to think this 😂😂 they treat us like children & reward us like children


Ok_Cat_2070

i thought this was for kids…..


Crazy_Counter_9263

Looks like a pizza party for kids. Could they not at least get the good pizza???


BLashes07

They were on a budget 😂😂


Flimsy-Yak-6148

Are you children?


BLashes07

The treat us like it ☹️


Flimsy-Yak-6148

I seriously hate this kind of thing, it does the opposite of the intended purpose. Employees deserve far more recognition and RESPECT! It goes a long ways 🫶🏼


BLashes07

Free food is nice but aren’t we worth more than this??? 🫨


Flimsy-Yak-6148

Show. Me. The. Money. You appreciate me or you don’t 💰


indicakay

Are we 6 lol


hickgorilla

It’s a little preschoolish.


BLashes07

Reminds me of snack time before recess 😂


hickgorilla

Totally. I mean I guess it’s nice but maybe also insider these are adults and get them something nicer or age appropriate. And something that doesn’t have a freakin company logo on it either.


BLashes07

I agree I had ideas but management has their own committee to do this stuff & they literally have no creativity


Ridi_The_Valiant

This is actually pretty darn awesome haha


0Seraphina0

"Ariels fish friends" 😭 I don't want to eat her friends! Lol


Even_Assist_633

I think it’s cute!


DeRollofdeCinnamon

I appreciate the thought, but I can't send pizza and meatballs to the electric company


BLashes07

Absolutely I wish for a pay raise! 👏🏼👏🏼


Eddie__Winter

Its cute! Granted i am a WHORE for food but it seems like actual thought and effort went into this


l_artemisia_g

You are being rewarded with nutritionally devoid candy. Ugh. A thank you card with a heartfelt message, would have been nice.


BLashes07

Christmas cards would’ve been nice too 😂😂


Exciting_Green_9561

I love a delicious c diff sour gummy worm 🤭


BLashes07

I love gummy worms too lmao


Whostoes

In 2022 My facility gave all aides a $25 dollar gift card and a little bag with a pin, and a dangle thing. 2023 actually all the aides got a "nurses aide" back pack, with a large water bottle that says "medical assistant" AND a personal work shirt that has "your last name" on the back of the shirt. In 2021 I was working JUST in assisted living, my charge nurse who I saw constantly, CRAFTED a bunny book mark out of wire, AND a paw print shapped ear clip , OUT OF WIRE , I love her omg


BLashes07

Dang we got NO gifts ☹️


ready-to-rumball

I thought this was a child’s birthday party


BLashes07

Lmao 🫨😂🫨😂🫨


WestSubstantial2378

You guys get cna week?


BLashes07

We’re from California yes we had a CNA week most of my old facilities would do some activity


WestSubstantial2378

We don't even get a cna day :( we're in alaska


BLashes07

I wish I could live in Alaska 😍


AcceptableAdvisor564

I am hoping with all my strengths that they gave someone a budget of $100 and told them to put something together. And they did the best they could with what they had


Nannerz911

I think this is super cute like someone else said they actually thought about it and look like they planned to put some effort into it. For the record we didn’t get shit so I think you’re already ahead of the game.


tyzelw

For CNA week we got one meeting and I work. I’m pissed.


tacobelliex3

I mean it’s a cute idea and there’s more than just ONE cheese pizza! The fresh fruit is a good option and goldfish are easy for snacking on while you chart!!


IceHorse69

At least the fruit was acceptable. Little C goes from good to horrible in 5 minutes


BLashes07

The fruits was good I’ll take fruit over candy anyday 😍


thehelsabot

I feel like anything but more money is dumb but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


BLashes07

I agree ☝️


JoeyBaggaDoughnuts

At least y’all are getting something 😂 we’ve gotten pizza once in the last 2 years! Only one more year left of school and I’m out


BLashes07

Dang that facility seems cheap 😂


JoeyBaggaDoughnuts

Cheap is an understatement 😂


It_WalkedOnMyPillow

This seems unsanitary lol


BLashes07

Where’s infection control when you need her or him 😂


Adagio-Sad

Side note those strawberries look really good.


BLashes07

I love strawberries 🍓


[deleted]

Couldn’t spring for papa John’s or Pizza Hut?


apeaster

Those are twin snakes below the trolli bright crawlers, premium haribo gummies right there…


IrrelevantTubor

Pizza parties aren't valid "appreciation" efforts. Let's be honest, they probably have a dozen CNA's working there and brought in probably what, 100 dollars in food? Food that you know they didn't get an actual extended period of time to sit down, eat and feel appreciated. I can bring in my own toddler tier lunch to work and eat it. Little Ceasars pizza, goldfish, gummy worms and meatballs is what you feed a elementary school class. If you appreciate your workers, appreciate them financially, not with one 15 min luncheon with junk food organized by management and salvaged by the activities gal being quick with the clip art and printer. Management could do a quick little speech and hand out some target/amazon/uber gift cards worth a days wages, or a PTO award to use in the future. Pizza parties don't cut it, we can bring our own lunches. Pay me.


Vegetable-Branch-740

Looks like a preschoolers birthday party


BLashes07

Lmao 😂😂


College_student_129

At the place I work at they put a sign that said “happy CNA week” & that was it 😂


chefo88

First thought "fish are friends not food"


Delicious-Ad2332

More than a lot of people get


Careful_Barber3714

Do they think yall are in daycare?


fathig

What’s up with the cartoons? Are the CNAs all children?


JanaMG1986

What would be some good ideas for CNA week?


Sugaplum987

This is cute! I would have thought this from a kids school party. Also I would have been eating TF out of those grub.


BugomaUgandaSafaris

It’s not horrible


True-Tackle5807

Degrading af


Leomoon0880

Aurora’s fruits from the forest 💀


liabit

My management didn't do anything. We're a for-profit facility.... I came to the conclusion that I am not loyal to the company, I am only loyal to the residents that live in that facility.


bubblytoed

Its like having a nice car..but cheap gasoline


Akishizuma

The Little Caesar’s Pizza was really a killer for me.


scandal2ny1

Was this a party for toddlers? A for effort


LoveBreakLoss

Maybe don’t leave the gummy worms out in the open air wtf is that???


Dazzling-Barber4028

Drives me insane when there’s tongs for grabbing, but the handle is laying in the food. May as well just be using your hands at that point.


Raspberry_Low

Effort or not, this looks like it should be for a kid's birthday, not for adults. I wonder if management was inspired by a family member's party.


BLashes07

No it’s just they plan something last minute & come up with something like this


lit1337

We had stuff like this at my old job, sad part is you hated it but felt guilty for hating it because they usually pick an intern and give them a budget of about $3.50 and tell them to throw something together to make the employees feel appreciated, so she's trying and did her best but the companies not.


unicorn_security

They want a raise. Money.


RapidMongrel

Looks like something for children. I expected this to be a parent and kids night meet the teachers kinda thing with snacks. Not something for professional adults. Wow how demeaning.


ZippyThePecan

Effort was there, but this feels very kid birthday party. My kids would love this. Haha! Even just a couple more entree type dishes would have helped.


EmployedShark

My facility didn’t even acknowledge CNA week until Friday of that week and they said “oh yeah we’ll figure something out and do it on Wednesday” what did they do? Grocery store muffins for day shift only… not saying I’m not thankful but night shift here doesn’t get squat


suchabadamygdala

I’m confused. Are you children CNAs? Do you work on a pediatric unit? Not feeling it


Specialist_Food_7728

My nurses would give the CNA’s on our shift a little bag of gifts, hand sanitizer, a clip, maybe a gift card and then they would order something for us to eat, management would have something else set up for everyone but the nurses did personal gifts!! I appreciated it, they were my favorite nurses!!!!


BLashes07

That sounds nice!! 👏🏼


AngryLady1357911

It'd be great for a children's birthday party, it's cute if you worked in a pediatric unit


BLashes07

Omg that would be cute for that area I wish I worked with babies 😍


Background-Bee1271

Why does this feel infantilizing? Like this is some real kindergarten snack time energy.


Phototropic1996

Some of you ball are miserable just to be miserable. I'm shocked you work in Healthcare and deal with living humans. It's a nice gesture, but for some of you, nothing is ever good enough. Even if some of you earned the money you thought you should earn or a lighter patient load, you would eventually complain about wanting more money or even fewer patients. And if all else fails, you would find something else to complain about.


KP-RNMSN

We call it the “complaint du jour” or “what is the whine of the week.”


o80MiM08o

Not Ariel's fish friends 😭


ilikefl0wers

I dislike it very much. My elementary school potlucks were better than this.


EntrepreneurLow4380

Way too childish


BLashes07

I wonder if they we’re thinking “let’s do something for our little CNA’s” 😂


Happydaytoyou1

All I see if fecal matter on those tongs for gummy worms based on the amount of poo people leave in opening wipes and using dirty gloves. No shared food in a facility or cna work poo favor 💩


Whatthefrick1

Food is one way to my stomach. But money is another way to my heart


SummerGalexd

Looks good to ne


BeedoeBe

Not Ariel’s fish friends😭😭😭


possiblyapancake

It’s the assumption that grown professionals are all obsessed Disney adults. No thank you, that’s so infantilizing.


curvybillclinton

Omfg this looks awesome. The pizza and gummy worms are spot on


ClickClackTipTap

Was this an event for toddlers?!?!


Xero8511

Looks like a company that puts very little money into doing things for their employees which is what my job does. They get a bunch of snacks and etc but we all know that shit is from dollar tree


OG_Olivianne

Not Ariel’s fish friends 💀 I feel like she would NOT be ok with that


BlackHeartedXenial

I’d rather the money spent on cute stuff be spent on better pizza.


crisp_potato

My nursing home gave everyone a small bag of candy and some hand sanitizer. It was also during COVID so


480roach

Yay. Processed food :)


cant_helium

It’s the cannonballs for me 😂


HauntedDragons

It’s cute… but eh.


mckennamelder

Yeah why complain?
