the coffee here blows - and my boss is similar in that he'll show up @ work around (6:30) and by the time I get here (7:30) the stuff is burnt. New Pot? HECK NO! Finish what's there 1st!!!

You guys are lucky that you get coffee in the office. Our cheap ass company has eliminated ALL "frills".
We have to go across the street to the local deli to get a cup.

What's funny is that they're probably losing more in productivity by forcing people to leave the office for coffee than they're saving.

You can pour them all into one cup and put it in the fridge. Then next day add some chocolate mix and sirup and you have yourself a premium ice latte drink. Or just give that to your co-worker... 
That's how it was (maybe still is) done in Au bon pain. They empty all leftover coffee into a plastic bucket; throw it in a fridge overnight; add some milk, sirup and chocolate mix next morning - and sell it as mocha chill at $3 for 16oz. Nuts...

Truly old world mentality at work in this company. Sad thing is, our main business is setting fashion trends

[QUOTE=kadeshpa,Jun 13 2007, 02:11 PM] I tried to argue the point...they say since we're salaried, productivity doesn't really matter, they'll get the work they want out of you regardless of how long it takes.

Perhaps your co-worker was just talking about the fact you have 4 paper cups on your desk just from one day - So what do you go thru, like 20-25 paper cups a week? That is a waste.
Get a mug and keep refilling it, or just refill one paper cup a day. The coffee, well that's just water filtered thru beans. Dump it into the ficus in your office.
