Now that I've seen this sequence play out at 3 different offices, I take this as gospel.
The desperate ineffectual cut hierarchy seems to go: free breakfast, then the free drinks/snacks, then coffee, then people.
Goldman Sachs was the funniest, they made the coffee cups 2 inches shorter to save money during a bad year.
- JeremyBanks 8y agoHmm, Google got rid of their large coffee cups a few years ago...
- canyon289 8y agoI agree with this. I've seen it happen at a Fortune 100 oil company. Times were crappy post 2008, we had regular drip brew coffee. Then oil prices suddenly went up and we were getting literally billions of dollars of orders, and the fancy custom tea and coffee machine was installed. Anndddd thenn the oil price dropped and a crappy drip machine was installed, and 80% of the staff was laid off. The ideas I've read in this thread ring true!
