    I kind of do. One of the managers hides supplies we need because we “use too much of it” or something and it affects the budget. We need to ask her for the supplies if we need it. So, I just stopped doing the work that requires those supplies. Her precious budget is safe.

      Totally agree. My guide is always if they don’t care then I don’t care. Want to make me jump through hoops to do my job. Fuck you.

      This woman is a nightmare, her name is Susan, and Susan recently started swallowing the supplies and we have to wait for her to poop them out if we want to use them. And as if that wasn’t bad enough she makes us talk her out for a walk whenever we want anything. Yesterday I took Susan for a walk and had to wait ten minutes for her to shit out a stapler.

        It’s a vegan thing in some circles

        “Yeah I bet you like your cow-titty juice, FREAKS” etc

        I think it’s hilarious personally, but I always think calling people weird sickos for normal stuff is funny

          We used to call it ‘moo juice’ when I was a kid. And eggs are cackleberries.

        It’s just a joke about how weird human culture is. I wonder how you infer anything about me as a person because of one silly joke? Only super weird people can notice weird cultural things and make jokes about it? Genuinely curious about your reasoning here.

        To me its much weirder that it’s normalized to drink baby milk from another species, to the point that it seems completely normal, but each to their own.

          I’ve often thought about this as well. Also how we literally shit in our water supply, and then have to go to great lengths to remove it again.

    So glad I live 5 minutes from work and can go home for lunch. Mostly it’s to see the dog but it’s also nice not worrying about this crap.

    I only ever use our group’s mini fridge in our cubicle for a seltzer I drink at the end of the day. Even that is a chaotic fridge filled with rotting food and too many condiments and creamers. I just put a can in to cool in the morning and take it out to drink by the end of the day.

      What’s up with people who leave stuff in there for weeks knowing that they are never going to eat it but are just too lazy to throw it out?

    Why does one of the jugs have an infection warning on it? Are these bio samples at a lab and the locks are a safety measure?

      I worked at a hospital, and sometimes the Emergency Dept nurses would be cheeky and use the biohazard bags and stickers for their food items. nobody is going to eat my cookies if they have to blindly trust someone being a joker lol

    My job has the opposite problem. We have four refrigerators full of food that no one wants to eat. People bring in homemade meals in glass containers that end up rotting and growing mold. Every so often someone gets the courage to clean all the refrigerators out, but it doesn’t take long before they turn back into giant trash cans again.

    I work at a place that went from having bbq’s and get togethers to… well, nothing in about five years. Yesterday we got a company wide e-mail to tell us the CEO is GTFO’ing and being replaced by an external hire. I’m not worried at all though. In fact, I’m kinda hoping to be fired for the severance. Fuck this job :D

      My story exactly. Company still has summer parties but they cut a lot of benefits, started firing people and the level of gaslighting went up dramatically. I was looking for something else but fortunately stayed long enough to get fired and cash out. Found new job in 1.5 months. I’m almost grateful to them for being such assholes.

    How about fixing the problem by having the management provide free milk? It’s about a pound a day for them and everyone is happier.

      My office provides free milk, but they some times don’t refill it for days, so whether you’ll have milk for your coffee becomes a gamble and then people get pissed when it’s not there. My solution is to just buy or bring my coffee with milk before work and drink tea at work (don’t take milk).

      Then you run into the problem of people using excessive amounts of free milk leaving others without the chance to even get any. Better and safer to bring your own if you rely on it.

        It works here. Every morning they go round the fridges (it’s a big place) and bung another 4 pints in if it’s getting low. The only time it didn’t work was after a long weekend, when the bottle looked too full to replace but it was starting to go manky because it had been sitting too long after it was opened. I just went to another fridge with good milk.
