Bad for both vegans and gluten intolerant people. Also pizza parties are sooo 2006.
Nothing demotivates people like a half assed reward. If you want something never to get done, offer a bad carrot. If you want only one thing to get done and nothing ever again, offer a good reward but then make the recipient fight you to get it. I thought pizza parties were the worst, and then I got an award that was announced but not delivered, and spent almost eight hours over the next month poking people to give me my goddamned prize. It became a second job and at the end I ended up resenting the entire experience.
Later at another job when we in theory had a generous reimbursement process that was actually a ton of red tape, I had flashbacks to that incident.
No, a full on everyone take the afternoon off catered food drinks to watch movies and play video games in our offices's bar paid for by the ops team personally.
Also don't assume we don't know our coworkers, when they first got to 8 in a row the slack channel looked like the Twitch chat of a popular streamer.
We have the buy-in from management that if it happens every day then it happens every day.
We are planning to change up the food if it ever happens again, pizza party is just a good title
