Thanks for the Refill
At first glance, the water cooler appears to be a typical office amenity, offering a basic necessity: water. However, upon reading the notes left by both employees and the employer, it becomes evident that this water cooler situation is far from innocent.
Surprisingly, the company doesn’t provide its employees with fresh water; instead, they expect the employees to foot the bill for the water cooler’s maintenance. The note posted by an employee requests contributions of $5 per month from colleagues to cover the cost. One would think that the company would provide such a basic amenity, but it does not. The snarky response from the employer highlights a lack of consideration for the employees’ well-being and raises questions about the company’s priorities.
