You get free coffee? We have to buy our own machine and run a “coffee club” to pitch in for ongoing costs. I opt to instead nod off at my desk. I don’t even care that it’s an open office and that people can see me.
Even my absolute worst job, which had a total fun of an office, had free coffee (later found out another location across the country did not, while the main office was in a fairly nice office tower with good lighting, free coffee, and a nap room)
I guess it depends on the job market and the type of company. I saw free coffee at the smaller companies around here, but the larger companies didn’t offer it (at least not by the time I started working). It blows my mind that they’d cheap out on coffee when it’s a productivity booster. Well, if they want to be petty with saving a buck, so can I. I’ll be catching up on sleep at the office.
God I love returning to the office just to jump on zoom calls.
My manager asked me why I expensed a $500 headset and told him it’s because I’m on the phone all day and want one that’s more comfortable.
He asked me for the model and he bought one as well.
But at least I get free* coffee
* 2 cup maximum. Additional coffees will be deducted out of my paycheck (JK but sort of not really)
Well don’t leave us hanging, what was the headset?
