Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[Methais]

So this week in the office, our break room no longer has disposable paper coffee cups.

A little sign appeared this morning next to the coffee machine that says (paraphrasing): You asked, we listened. As part of our environmental sustainability initiative we will no longer store paper cups. Employees are welcome to bring their own coffee mug into the workplace. This reduces our paper waste by XXX annually.

I have a few problems with this:

1) Who the fuck asked for this besides maybe a few ignorant bastard GenZ fucks here on a summer internship? Don’t lie and make it sound like this was our idea.

2) I don’t think they thought this whole saving the environment through. Now we have to clean our cups. That requires water waste, energy to heat hot water, dish soap, and paper towels supplied to dry them. In addition, now employees are spending valuable time washing their cups instead of working.

3) This isn’t about saving the whales or shit like that. They are just using that as an excuse to cut costs of supplying paper cups and be cheap bastards.

Well fuck that and fuck them. Tonight on my way home I’m going to stop by Costco and purchase a mega pack of disposable cups to keep in my work locker. Hell I may just get the styrofoam ones out of spite.

Use these:



And post a sign saying "We didn't ask for this."
