My office is an open floor plan with no assigned desks that sounds disease like Australian wildfires as part of a way to consolidate office buildings. Do you think they increased the cafeteria size or number of bathrooms to support more people?

Yup we have the same thing. That's why I only go to the office to get coffee.

My employer thinks everyone should be in the office every day or people aren't productive. In fairness, when we have a dusting of snow that closes the office, no works gets done because everyone treats it like a day off.

Jeez, you employ baristas just to serve your own employees espresso? Maybe i should get McKinsey to cold call your boss

Deloitte sublets a bunch of one of our buildings just to be extra friendly with us - our customers represent a huge source of revenue. I think you'd have trouble getting around them.

My office has a one-to-one ratio of baristas to employees. And we get to pick how we get compensated. The dining area was totally designed and funded for by the employees too

the Oakland A's broadcast team has this running joke about weather forecasting, where they go on for like 5 minutes explaining that 'a 70% chance of rain' indicates a 100% chance of 70% of the radar geography gets wet (as opposed to a 70% overall chance that any of the area sees rain)...

i suspect 'i might be gay' is basically the same thing

I meditate quite frequently at my fire pit. True story. On the patio with a cocktail works great too.
