    A worker was left fuming after her Christmas bonus turned out to be a potato.

    She shared her frustration on social media, saying: "My work is doing a potato bar as our Christmas bonus," and "I'm literally getting a hospital potato as a bonus. They also said it has a $15 value so it will be taxed on our next check. Does anyone need an assistant so I can just quit right now?"

    She kept her followers updated on the strange situation, joking: "This is my Charlie Brown villain origin story," Adding: "People telling me to start a fight or a riot, girl, I need my job", and "Idk, you guys, do I show up with Tupperware and just get my $$$$ worth in sour cream?"

    Despite the disappointment, she admitted: "This is an improvement from the 30-minute Wexbext with leadership as our gift last year. It was a Webex because the year before they had to be in the same room with us and they're too good and not doing that again."

    Amanda, still in disbelief, took to social media again to share a photo of the disappointing potato. She said: "The moment you've all been waiting for, my $15 taxed potato."

    Amanda also revealed that employees couldn't opt out of this 'bonus', and when asked about her plan to get her money's worth of sour cream, she said they "topped it for us so we didn't go overboard."

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
