A recent social media post highlighted the exact issue when an employee revealed that their boss did not want them to drink coffee during office hours. Every workplace has some bizarre rules that can make performing there an exhausting task. Instead, the manager suggested the employee just start their shift an hour later. The employee noted that their colleagues were too intimidated by the boss to speak up or challenge the absurd policy.
I will be compliant until I signed the contract after my first month,” they said. “The coffee is something minor, but I have been warned by a lot of people about him ever since I started. “People don’t quit bad jobs, they quit bad bosses. Starting an hour later isn’t going to magically stop you from wanting to drink coffee.
Detailing that it was a 20-second walk to the machine, the employee said no one was allowed to drink thermos coffee or canned coffee, as it might interfere with work.
Keep looking, you’ll find something better,” said one user, while another added: “Probably most of labor runs on coffee. If I had a boss that told me I couldn’t have coffee or stop for a coffee break, I’d lose it. A fourth said: “It’s entirely unreasonable for your boss to expect you to not drink coffee at work. “No.” is a full sentence.”
