Today I was talking to a friend of mine who is a teacher, I'm and engineer.
He revealed to me that tea and coffee is not provided to staff where he works. I asked:
“What do they do about interviews?”
“What do you mean?”
“If I turn up for an interview and the first question isn't “tea or coffee?” there is no way I'll be working there. I even judge them on the quality of the coffee.”
He claimed he'd only ever been offered once and that I was entitled to assume I'd be offered a drink at an interview.
I've never not been offered a drink and I'd consider it a huge red flag if I wasn't.
