and the culture here (in engineering companies at least) is that poo poo like coffee is free, because it boosts productivity and keeps people happy.

Coffee being removed is just the most petty thing. The first thing our new Ops Director did when getting into the role was start providing free tea, coffee and milk because of the massive amount of goodwill it generates for such a small expenditure.

I took over a Cisco UC system at a huge institution with only a piece of paper with IP addresses and logins. Nothing pisses me off more than when someone says "well (previous guy) would just adjust a setting when we had this problem before. " OK, do you have any documentation on what he did? No? Me either.

I do not work in IT but I do drink a lot of coffee at work. My company has an opt-in charge of £2 that gets deducted from our salary every month to pay for coffee and tea and milk - if you don't drink what is provided or you bring your own supplies in then you don't pay. I don't think I have ever worked somewhere that supplies hot drinks for free, there has always been a pot to put money in every week or an expectation that every now and then you would buy a jar of coffee / bottle of milk / box of tea bags, etc. The Amazon FC I worked at for 1.5 days had free vend on all their drinks machines but I think they made that back from the soul-crushing awfulness of the job they expected you to do.

The big offices have the nifty Starbucks machine where you hit what you want on the touchscreen. They don't have cups now, but did buy every single person a reusable cup. I've considered moving to where the big offices are more than once. All we have is a Keurig.

I work in a mill in Finland and the company provides every control room with a fridge, coffee machine and some form of cook top. It is on us to get the food and beverages to use them with. Usually shifts organize tables to keep track on whose turn it is to buy coffee or filters. We like this system, it means we get our choice of coffee brand. *Edit* For contractors: If you want to generate good will when visiting factories and what not: bring baked goods.

Jane: How come Jill isn't on the distribution list for MegaMart orders anymore? She hasn't gotten an order from them in 2 weeks! Bob: Jane, you're the only one on the MegaMart list. You asked me to create it with you as the only member in ticket #23432 and you never made any other requests. Jane: I have never sent her those emails! Jill: All the emails about megamart orders are from Jane Jane: See! She WAS getting them! Bob: Yea, from you. If she was on the megamart list they'd be from megamart not you Jane: I never sent them to her! Bob: Sure you didn't This is the part where Jane now tries to get Jill fired

The emails are forwarded to me, since this is a shared mailbox not a distribution list. Because of this I can't respond to them, since the original senders aren't actually on the email, and the forwarded message lists the recipients, but not their email addresses. Fortunately since I work at a place that is not terrible, I mentioned this to the support manager, and he gave me access to the shared mailbox. They don't a distribution list, which fine, they have a specific reason that I'm not sure of, but atleast I can respond to emails and I even have "send as" permissions to hide myself behind the emails.

She didn't even do it herself - she identified that someone needed the mails, then instead of going to IT to get her added to the distribution list, she got someone else to build her an outlook rule. And then presumably at some point the subject line or some other part of the email changed and the rule stopped firing.

Our place has multiple free coffee vending machines, with choice of various brews, and some even offer fresh ground coffee. There is also a large selection of tea bags. I can only imagine the entire office would go on strike if that was taken away.

Pissing me off today: My manager put me and 2 other people on my team in for raises due to the good work we were doing. The head of IT approved it, and the VP above him approved it. Just waiting on the approval from the president of the company. Then the head of IT changed his mind and un-approved them. Oh, and we have oodles of extra money so they can't use money as an excuse. The fact that I was supposed to be getting a raise outside of the normal yearly raise increased my opinion of the company. Then poo poo like this just kind of pisses on any good feelings I had developed for them. If they are going to do poo poo like this I guess it is back to the "move to another company every 4-5 years" cycle of IT.

1099 Network "Engineer" migrated our network from WS2003 -> 2016. All is well except the engineering network (All Centos7.2) can't authenticate against ldap anymore because he didn't set up a LDAP user to authenticate against. He's spent the last 30 minutes bitching about Linux and somehow isn't capable of adding a simple LDAP user to authenticate with win WS2016.  Without LDAP we can't get into our git server.

I'm a horrible goon, I suck down 2x 2 liter bottles of (diet) store-brand cola a day. I would continue drinking as the owner blathered on.(I burned out on caffeine before my teen years - poo poo doesn't do anything for me anymore, I just like the taste of soda pop.) As for coffee, we've had free employee coffee for years, but recently added in free coffee for the lobbies of the various locations. We're a behavioral healthcare provider.  People (not necessarily clients/their families and friends there for support or transport) are rolling in and filling up Big Gulp cups and poo poo. Entire 20 oz containers of sugar are disappearing at a rate of 3-5 a day at just the main center - not sure if they're being stolen, or just being used to make slurry.  12 oz cans of powdered creamer (same physical size as the sugars) are also being run through at a less-alarming-but-still-ridiculous rate.If we ever run out of budget for this, we're gonna get rioted into a a greasy smear.

We have a talk radio customer using our VoIP and they use their main phone number as their call in number for on-air. They refuse to spend the minuscule amount of money to get another number and call in every other day because they don't understand how to forward/unforward phones. They'd like that same number to go to the GM cell phone at random times in the day. As a person who used to work in TV production I'm all the more  .My boss has disabled all QoS in a strip mall because someone was complaining about call quality. Now no traffic is getting prioritized and all customers in the building are complaining. He said my QoS rules were commendable but wrong. Now what boss? No answer. I have to bullshit them. Can I be a "network engineer," "support department team lead" (not a manager, heavens no!), "project specialist," and set up old ladies' printers all at the same time? Sure can. What are titles even for. Good thing they hired me with no experience and will pay for my certs. Once I'm able to I'm getting a real job.

Eh. It's colored, flavored bubbly water with a small amount of caffeine at that point. I mean yeah, it's a lot, but it's not like sucking down liters of HFCS water like regular soda. Of course, there's a study or two that says diet drinks trigger appetite but not satiation, but eating like a pig is a whole other issue.
