A Singaporean employee sparked heated debate on a local Reddit forum on Jan 1 after slamming their boss’s “appreciation gift” – a gold-plated coin too worthless to even buy a plate of cai png. The worker called such items “corporate white elephants”: pretty but utterly useless. Many netizens agreed, demanding practical rewards like food treats, real gold bars with resale value, or straight-up cash to truly show financial understanding.

Others, however, defended the bosses, sarcastically reminding everyone that appreciation tokens are meant to be cherished sentimentally, not sold for profit. “That’s the point, bro – appreciate the recognition, not everything is materialistic,” one said. Another added bosses can give whatever they want; employees should just smile and say thank you. The post highlighted Singapore’s ongoing gripe over token gestures versus tangible perks.
