Actually they avoided an inedible stain, because Trump would have shit himself at the ceremony.

Oh damn this explains a lot actually.

Olives and carrots with hot sauce.

Relatable

Getting awful close to cosmic margins of error there

Finally some good news

I have been working professionally, at a high level for 20 years and have never heard any commentary about bringing drinks to meetings until literally this week. Get off of it. It’s not a thing.

Free feet in this economy?

It’s a trap. The moment you hold the baby on your own, it steals your soul and gives you brain chemicals to make new babies. That’s how baby is formed

YOURE NOT MY SUPERVISOR

Are you looking for an apprentice?

Just a little drop. Just to see how it feels.

To elaborate, they are tankies who believe trans rights are western pink washing. And who larp as Haitian revolutionaries from their ergonomic computer chairs. And who literally do not post outside of their home instance because they can’t handle the internet with their “I win” ban button.

I’d give you bonus points for booze as long as you bring enough to share. Good culture fit and generous?!

The way I see it, this whole “controversy” is a lot of people who don’t actually do real work telling on themselves.

You mean the client expectations which were created last week over a fake social media controversy by people who literally have nothing better to do than shitpost on LinkedIn? Sorry we do enough actual work that we aren’t up on LinkedIn meta.

Brother, I promise you I can sell a customer on the idea that we are just that fucking good, that our iced coffee rebellion is exactly what they are looking for. Because we actually are very fucking good at what we do.

Same. I am going to start talking about how much I fucking love iced coffee in phone screens from now on.

If some HR fuckwit wants to make this a thing then I will allocate a solid portion of my smug to it.

I legitimately cannot conceive of any situation where I would care what kind of drink a candidate brought with them. All I care about is that you make the right shapes on the white board and don’t give Trump supporter.

I get recruited a lot and occasionally agree to do an interview just to stay on my toes, and I am 100% going to bring a mega-gulp sized ice coffee, and wear a tshirt that says “Iced coffee fan” the next time I do this.

Actually I might order catered iced coffee for the entire office.

Why can’t you have iced coffee in front of a customer? I am not primarily customer facing but do a lot of integration and onboarding work in the field and have brought way weirder things to customer sites. Like a whole gallon of tea, and a six pack to put in their fridge for later.

Nobody - and I cannot stress this enough - fucking cares. Unless the job is some fake corporate butt sniffing gig where none of the people involved actually do any real work.

I’m pretty sure China calling itself “central county” probably plays some role as well.
