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.

Seems like an overreaction. I mean, how long does it take you to wash your coffee mug? And it's not that big an imposition is it, to have to wash a mug and keep it at your desk? I'd rather rage about all the dumb PRIDE shit my company does for the very few people who care about it.

If the company wants to just provide mugs, that's one thing, but I don't like having my personal stuff at work. Too many stupid fucking people with sticky fingers. Maybe that's just me, but I get triggered if my stuff gets fucked with.

Thankfully I don't drink coffee and the only thing I bring to work from home is my lunch bag that stays next to me all day. I won't put my stuff in the community fridge, I've had too much stuff taken in the past as people have stolen my lunch or items from it even though it's labeled with my name.

Maybe the company should just stop providing coffee and save more money. I also don't leave things in the breakroom, but I do have a coffee mug and bring my own food in (and leave at my desk). I mean a few hours before lunch ain't gonna ruin what I'm bringing in for lunch.

Oh I’m most definitely overreacting. Problem is, and yeah feel free to judge me as the asshole I know I am, expending my time & effort to wash coffee cups at work is beneath me.

Edit: The part that ticked me off the most was the you asked for it & we listened. I don’t like being fed BS.

They won’t get rid of coffee all together because having it available increases employee productivity. If they could legally inject Adderrall into my bloodstream as soon as I walked into the office, they totally would.

I believe at least one person asked for it. That's the world today though, we manage to the lowest common denominator, instead of intellectually. Sad really.

Facts.

The company I work for has roughly 290,000 US employees. That one employee deserves an ass-whooping from the other 289,999.
