What’s up with the food lately? Seems to have gone hill the last 6 months.

Gifts to remote employees? Hmm sounds surprising. Are they on the next layoff list? Poor newly wed husband’s who went on fully remote to stay with their wife in the west coast.
While sending 'remote' employees gifts is certainly ignorant....on-site emplyees get free lunch.
Comuting expenses and parking fees are commonplace and always have been.
Go find a job elsewhere if you don't like it!
Remote employees were just sent more gifts this week. Those of us still in MKE get to enjoy the gift of paying for fuel, parking, and lost hours in our day. What a place this has turned into.
Seems I'm in the minority here in that I appreciate the amenity. Going with soup, salad and an occasional piece of pizza has not steered me wrong....
It's free and people still don't take it or want it. What does that tell you?
The food is so bad that people get hyped up eating garbage from a disgusting food truck. What next they entice us with carryout from a soup kitchen or homeless shelter?
It's free.
I wouldn’t even call it lunch. Disgusting snacks is a better description.
I respectfully disagree regarding Franklin. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather be there if I had to just for parking availability/cost, and available options for getting food elsewhere, but the food there is akin to the old 611 building and the poor mans lobster. You'd be lucky to not get sick, much less enjoy the fare being offered. Last time I was there and actually went to get food from a station, the individual was more concerned about striking a conversation about inane bs than anything else. I took that to mean it was OK to serve myself. I go to grab a plate only to have my hand swatted away and scolded 'No! I'm serving here.' So I wait while s/he puts on gloves and asks what I want and gives me a portion I wouldn't have given myself. Had I been left alone to serve myself, I would have been out of there much quicker and not wasted food I didn't particularly enjoy. Meanwhile we have managers who apparently acknowledge this, thinking that having 'food days' getting food delivered or from food trucks is an incentive to come in office.
Franklin seems to be getting a ton of the good food lately, I did ask once why and I was privately told that because Milwaukee has the pizza oven and ice cream machine that Franklin gets new dishes and more desserts.
Milwaukee does need to adopt the Franklin way too of not having lunch people handing out plates and making comments because you don't want a vegetable, just lay out plates and let people take what they want. I saw they are starting to do this downtown though.
Lately? It's always been subpar, at best. The grab-n-go stuff is even worse. And the nannies who insist on doling it out and wasting everyone's time - just get rid of 'em. I've never understood why the whole free lunch thing has been touted as some great benefit, much less as a reason to incentivize working in-person on either campus.

Uphill or downhill? You only said “hill” - don’t leave us hanging! lol
