Talking about staff morale, while still going to school I worked at an institution where they would celebrate employees' birthdays on the week they fell on. The person with the previous birthday would always make/buy a cake, a card was criculated for all of us to sign, and we all gathered in the break room at a designated time to sing happy birthday and cut the cake. When my birthday was next in line I made a comment to one of my coworkers about looking forward to cake and she replied "Oh, well, we only do this for full-time staff members. Students are part time, you never know what their schedule is going to be like, and they are always busy, so that's why we don't bother". Nice, huh?
