10k pays for half the janitor's salary.
We don't get free anything where I work, and I'm fine with that. My company's job is to make more money, not baby me with things that I'm perfectly capable of paying for on my salary.
- pyre 17y agoThere's no free coffee? Every place that I've ever worked had free coffee. From the crappiest of the low-level jobs to the awesome job that I have now.
- assemble 17y agoNope. Most groups have their own coffee machines and stock their own coffee. I work at an aircraft company. While I'm a salaried employee, the effects of the union being present at this site hit everyone. It's nice in some cases (benefits), but often it really screws us (hard to lose ineffective employees, no little 'fringe' benefits, etc). I'd be surprised if most companies w/ union involvement are much different.

- pyre 17y agoI'm not just talking IT firms though. I've never worked any job where there wasn't free coffee. Even the retail jobs had free coffee. It was definitely really really cheap stuff, but it was still there.
- whatusername 17y agoI've worked in a wholesale nursery where I was in the middle of the paddock all day. Obviously there wasn't coffee there. But yes - most offices (and retail) have some form of coffee.
- harry 17y agoState Academia here - No free coffee. We sorta have a informal 'coffee club' in our office. You bring in a round of homebrew and make it when there isn't any in the pot. You also hate on the people who make weak coffee.
