You probably have better insight in to that than anyone here.
There could be a couple of reasons that have nothing to do with financials. Perhaps there was a high level of waste and therefore one person simply made a decision to just stop. Could also be that one person always took care of it and they are out on holiday or otherwise away. It could be they're waiting for someone to comment on it.
Then it could be the beginning of tightening down on incidental spending. If this is the case you should also begin to see this in other areas such as less paid for lunches or paid for after work outings etc....
- joezydeco 11y agoThis is the correct answer. You are not a fruit-in-code-out machine. You are part of a company now and, hopefully, getting deep into your career. Your career involves keeping your ear to the ground and understanding the state of your company. Not just the outward stuff that goes into press releases and product launches, but the internal success and failures. You don't have to just walk up to the fruit person and ask "WTF?". Be a little more subtle than that. Was there some major project that was cancelled? Sales not meet the forecast? Hiring was frozen by management? All these little pieces need to be gathered over months and years, but you should always know where your job stands before the decision is made for you. Sometimes, yeah, it was just the fruit person going on holiday. But sometimes it's the canary in a coal mine.
