Thanksgiving is often considered a day of warmth, families gathered together, plates overflowing, laughter in the air. But for one employee on TeamBlind, the holiday brought a moment of confusion and quiet disbelief.
In the post, the writer explains that they “live just 15 minutes from office and hit the gym there pretty regularly.” On the early morning of Thanksgiving, while pulling into the office parking lot for a quick workout, they noticed something unexpected — their director loading a reusable bag into his car.
A few cans slipped out and rolled on the ground. “He quickly picked those cans and tossed them back in the car.” Odd, perhaps, but not enough to dwell on. Until the next day.
‘This guy earns in 2-3 Million range annually’
The director shared a cheerful Thanksgiving note in the organisation’s channel. It was accompanied by a smiling picture of his family and friends gathered around a festive table. The TeamBlind user’s curiosity sparked: “I zoomed into see what everyone was drinking. The entire table is filled with some of the non-popular unique soda brands stocked at my office kitchen.”
This detail left the employee stunned because, as the post explained that, this leader is not exactly struggling financially. “This guy earns in 2-3 Million range annually. I genuinely cannot understand why would someone at his level would risk their job and reputation to save some dollars for free drinks. Edit – Director is an American originally from Eastern Europe.”
‘Focus on bigger things’
Netizens were divided over the Director’s behaviour. A user noted, “Calm down. Everyone i know picks up stuff from micro kitchen. Focus on bigger things in life son.” Another added, “True, everyone at Google stocks up for every get together or road trip or even guests visiting. It’s pretty normal.”
“Some people are scummy,” claimed a user. “Somebody should start a Polymarket on the race of this Director. I feel like most of us would win” added another. “You can give money to the poor, but you can’t take away the sense of being poor from that person. Your director must have a humble past,” weighed in a netizen.
“Rich people stay rich by pretending to be poor. Poor people stay poor by pretending to be rich,” added another.
