I work in academia, they actually opened a cafe in our lobby to milk more money from us. I’ve never gotten free anything, the snacks and soda are in overpriced vending machines no one can afford to use, and that pretty much sums up how I feel about the health of academia.
- femto 8y agoI worked in the Australian government. One day a group of big wigs had a meeting in our conference room, biscuits provided. Our group had the next meeting in the room. There was a plate with a few leftover biscuits on it in the conference room, so a few people took one. A memo came around the next day reprimanding people for taking a biscuit.
