Sometimes as a programmer, I’m invited to visit the customer service offices to visit the workers on the front line. We have a bunch of offices around the nation. And if I’m in the area, it’s nice to stop in.
The one office did not have a coffee machine! Not a problem - I went to the lobby and bought coffee.
When I told them a bunch of other offices had free coffee, free beer, 8 rows of snacks. Then they said, “Must be nice as a programmer!” And I said, “Nah all of the other customer service offices have that.” And I could just see the office manager fuming. I don’t know if she was fuming because of some office politics, or fuming because she’s secretly getting kickbacks.
Anyways, I left with, “Y’all should really start talking more with your fellow coworkers about benefits.”
