I work for a fortune 500 Company in the financial sector, and today when I went to the break room to get a cup and some ice for the drinks I keep in my office, I notice the cups had changed. Before we had these nice 20oz cups with the company name on them, that had the weird texture on the outside to make sure coffee does not burn your hand, or condensation does not build on the outside, and in return get on your papers on your desk. Today we have Solo cups, you know the red cups that every person that has ever gone to college knows about.

 

Then I also heard some further news that upset half the office. They have announced that we will be going back to coffee in pots (I know the horror). I don't drink coffee but this is a big deal to some people. Currently we have one of those machines were you pick whatever flavor you want put it into the machine, and it makes a cup. I've heard a lot of people complain today about the changes, but these people are missing the big picture. We still have free, yes I said free coffee, and Folgers at that, and they are still providing cups for coffee and free bottled waters. In this day in age I think we should be happy to still have good paying jobs, but you know.

Let's hope this isn't a sign of something more serious.
