Coffee in the Office
Feb. 9, 2011 | self

Posted on 02/09/2011 6:53:00 PM PST by CH3CN

What is the modern opinion regarding coffee in the office. Is it no longer proper to pour a cup of java, add a little cream, and drop it off on the boss's desk when he comes in? I always thought it was courteous and a demonstation of respect to greet the boss with a cup of coffee first thing in the morning. Guess I'm from the old school, but, I'd like to know what is done nowadays.

The problem might be that he does not want to allow the appearance of sexism (demanding the secretary fetch you coffee) regardless of whether it’s your idea in the first place. Maybe he just finished his mandatory “harassment in the workplace” seminar and is a bit skittish.

LOL!
That makes me glad I have a good working relationship with my boss. He does have his moments, though!
