Okay so this isn’t the biggest win and honestly in the grand scheme it’s really nothing, BUT my former employees are at least benefitting from this.
So I moved to California in November of last year and came to work for a law firm (at an abysmally low rate) just to have something to make money here. Well it was terrible. Toxic work environment, ridiculous expectations and lack of communication, unless it’s passive aggressive comments, and again, shit pay. One thing they didn’t have that I’ve never experienced is a coffee machine in the break room. They had one in the conference room but it wasn’t for us plebs to use.
So I quit a week or so ago and in addition to giving feedback regarding the pay, environment, and work expectations, I also said that they need to get a coffee maker. I said it’s ridiculous that they don’t at least have that if they’re gonna pay so little and treat people like robots.
A couple of my former coworkers (that I’m still really good friends with) texted me and told me that they now have a coffee maker.
So… not the biggest win. Doesn’t affect how little they pay people or how they treat them, but at the very least they now have access to coffee so that they can stand the hell that is that company a little easier. I really hope they take the other feedback seriously but we all know that’s unlikely.
