People here bitch incessantly about the "green" and "wellness" policies.

It's irritating! Before I started working here, the biz did away with paper cups for coffee and bought plastic mugs, short and tall, in the style of today's car-coffee cup. People complain about these things! Big fat deal! Now the rumor is that the health and wellness committee ("whatever that is," I heard someone say) is getting rid of certain types of provided snacks, like fried munchies and candy. Big fat deal! Buy your own!

AFAIC these are NOT things to complain about. Do you draw a salary? Do you have health insurance? Yes? Then shut up.

edit: I'm glad they got rid of paper cups and i'm glad they are going to get rid of such snacks. I find it amazing what people will bitch about.

1. the leachate from the plastic gives people cancer

the paper cups hurt the environment

i propose earthenware mugs. though if the glaze is fired in china, it probably has lead in it.

2. they won't spend that money.

I propose everyone bring your own mug!

3. Wow, they provide cups, snacks AND health insurance?

And people are complaining? Shit, in my job we have to pay for our own uniforms (well, to be fair, the company provides us with one free shirt but we buy our own pants and believe me, no one wants to be near me on about day 3 of wearing one shirt so we all have to buy additional ones).

4. and they complain.
