I went to a meeting in an office in Jakarta and was absolutely confused at its inclusion, and absolutely unsurprised nobody drinks the beer

SMEGMA_MAIL posted:Is beer on tap at work actually a thing had a job once where the managers gave the most junior hire a few 20s to run out and buy some cases of beer each Friday at like 3pm. there were always leftover beers hanging out in the break room fridge, but no one got into them unless they were working late enough to be eating dinner there.

the beer is for kids out of college who start drinking around 5, hang out for a while to socialize about work, then either go to a bar to continue talking about work (ie meetings the employees pay for) or put in a few more hours once the office is quiet enough to actually get work done

I work in advertising and my CD starts most client meetings by giving us shots before it starts. That was precovid tho, I'm assuming most of my peers are getting liquored up off screen.

I visited Oculus a couple of times, and they had refrigerators that had wine and beer in them. The employees said people mostly just hit them up during events and Friday afternoons.

Bushiz posted:This might be true in the sense that the sort of people who were suckered into fake benefits like beer on tap and unlimited vacation are now being suckered into fake benefits where the company is woke. Real hot take ya got here. While it's important that your job give good benefits and salary, it turns out that working at a place that's inclusive, diverse and emotionally safe is important to well-being in the workplace and enjoying the job you do. While the best of both worlds is probably what you should go for, I know people that would probably settle for diversity and wokeness over benefits because most benefits don't cover the therapy that is required to work in a hostile workplace.

My current company is quite woke, at least at the official level I guess. The other day I had a sensitivity training meeting. I learned that instead of calling somebody a "beta-male" I should call them introverted instead.

The Bloop posted:Loving that I can't tell if this is a real thing that happened Oh it's very real. I have a whole list of words and their appropriate substitutes. It started pretty normal with your typical "don't call women bossy, call them assertive instead", but then they brought out the male version which was hilarious. Weak -> Honest Sissy -> Compassionate Crybaby -> Sentimental Not a 'Real Man' -> Considerate Beta Male -> Introverted Pushover -> Helpful I still prefer this to my old job where I once heard the owner say we "need to deal with the brown person problem in this country" amongst many many other horrendous things.

This, but also even as someone on the "privileged" side of everything, it's just good on its face. All I want is a workplace that is maybe just passively evil instead of actively evil, but also secure enough that I can contribute to a 401k and I don't need to worry about them possibly missing payroll one day.

i worked in a bar/restaurant for 6 years. everyone got drunk after work constantly, that is if they didn't show up to work drunk, and that's a big if. You do an open shift saturday or sunday morning and half your staff is hung over or still drunk from the night before

If you ordered Dominoes Pizza from the Hammond, Indiana location in 2004 I am sorry to say that the guy who made it (me), and the Nazi who delivered it were both doing H while working. It may have gotten to you slow but at least I didn't give a gently caress and you got more than the recommended toppings.

the only time I was mad about drug use at work was a coworker agreed to meet me in the parking lot and she was apparently trying to kill herself via od and the idea was I'd find the body. A little peeved there. She lived. Still, not cool.

My friend Charles snorted H on the call center floor on multiple occasions. It was really inspirational.

Edit: I worked at a produce packing plant in Missouri once and a toilet got clogged with loving syringes.

Desert Bus posted:. It may have gotten to you slow but at least I didn't give a gently caress and you got more than the recommended toppings. We had a regular who every Saturday night would order delivery, a bacon cheese burger with extra extra cheese “loads Of cheese!” As she put it. Now my boss would say “that’s 3 slices of extra cheese, max!” But we made a game of seeing how much cheese we could reasonably fit on the burger for her. I think my record was 14 slices. And I had to melt it in sections and transfer it on to the burger. Also she was crazy and she had a dog/wolf hybrid as a pet who looked like a demon dog but that’s neither here nor there

We had a regular who would always show up past carry-out and get a thin crust with extra extra extra extra sauce, the more sauce the better. You couldn't make it the normal way where you coat it with cheese and shake the rest off because it would all just slide off. He tipped great though and I hope the people who worked there after me kept up the arrangement. This was 2004 Dominoe's sauce so it had to have been terrible, but slip me an extra $5 and sure, I'll make your lovely tomato soup pizza.
