I once got my old boss a potato for his birthday, it was a 25 dollar gold coated potato though. I dont see the gold one anymore. https://potatoparcel.com/
Remember bonus pay is withheld at 22 percent, so don't eat all of it otherwise you'll owe the IRS a quarter of a potato at tax time
This is terrible, but the company doesn't need to tax them on this any more than your company taxes you when they bring in pizza for everyone. They're doing it because...they're dumb.
this "story" is spam, actually.
the dearth of people in this thread who can identify it as such is sad evidence of a lack of media literacy.
edit: i can't reply to @kescusay@lemmy.world because i deleted this post from lemmy.ml, but, i see they replied:
It’s the Independent, not spam. Indy100 is part of the Independent.
so, ok, I looked, and yeah, I see this "indy100" site is indeed part of a business called "The Independent" which carries the name of a former newspaper.
But this story, like most of the content on indy100, appears to have no basis in reality. It is not "news", it is dishonest garbage pretending to be factual for the purpose of selling the audience's attention to advertisers. aka spam.
No it's a potato, not spam. Spam looks very different.
