    Coffee at work

    Different countries do it differently. The French hang out around the coffee machine to drink their coffee. The Italians sometimes go out to get an espresso.

    The Dutch appear at the machine with the lid of a cardboard box, and proceed to monopolise the machine by getting 25 coffees for their entire team
    Job motivation: how the powerful steal from the stupid.

    I have a free coffee machine. Shame I don't drink coffee.

      You're only cross because you're the 26th member of the team.

        When I was at Nestlé we used to go to a local café, as Nestlé only provided Nescafe.
        Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

          There's a costa on site. It will be the undoing of me. Probably having 5 double-shot lattes a day.

              As long as they pay me more to drink it than it cost to purchase I'll be doing it the profitable away. I'm running a business after all.
              While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

                    Management can do work while at Costa or even while walking there.

                    At conferences, it's claimed at least as much important stuff happens in the 15min coffee break as it does in the presentations.
