So another early-arriver to the office and myself have taken to not only making a pot of coffee, but loading up a filter with each of the four types of coffee we have and leaving them in front of the carafes. The idea being that it becomes nearly zero effort for someone, after a pot is made, to fire off the next pot. That means we end up with a full load of coffee first thing in the morning, and the trend seems to follow most the day.<\/p>\n
Except I just went in there and discovered at least one pot with the filled filter sitting in front of it. Someone had clearly traipsed in, pulled a full carafe from under the maker, poured themselves some coffee, and left, without even thinking about taking the five seconds to move the carafe over and load in the pre-filled filter.<\/p>\n
Rrg.<\/p>\n
So … there are 300 people, let’s say, in the office. If we were to all pitch in $5.60\/month, we could pay an FTE $20,000\/year to do nothing but go between the kitchens and make coffee. Sort of like the tea lady at the UK offices I’ve visited.<\/p>\n
Makes a hell of a lot of sense to me. Rrg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
