the issue is companies offering food as "appreciation" or a reward of some sort. its pretty offensive and misguided when they do that. my company does bagels once a month and pizza once a month. Bagels the first Friday of every month and Pizza during a once-monthly virtual training session. thats it, that is all the reason behind the food. not for performance or appreciation day its not a reward, its not an incentive, its not an act of appreciation for hard work. its just our company being nice and people love it.
