#cafeteria

I will be starting with Vanguard in Plano in 3 weeks. Curious of the culture, in office environment, office amenities. For example, is there a cafeteria? Gym? Do most people work 8-5 in office? I had 3 interviews. 2 managers said “come in at 8, leave at 12:30 and finish the day at home. The 3rd manager said 8-5 is the minimum expectation.

If they started offering Cafeteria Benefits allowing people to pay for selected coverage and not for coverage they will never/no longer need such as OB, Peds, or opt out of other coverage options to include BH, SNF, etc they might actually be seen as a decent provider other than a greed machine. Healthy and younger people may not need any of this coverage and could add it much later in life. Along with stop forcing house staff to buy the Cadillac plan of the year vs basic coverage. I for one don't need a variety of coverage, and I damn sure am not interested in their "high touch" BS offerings.

PORTLAND GUY DAY:

Show up between 930 and 10 as a group. Almost everyone wearing sunglasses in the office like complete tools.

Immediately take a coffee break in the Cafe with the entire group until 1015-1030.

Take an hour lunch 12-1.

Leave between 2-3 PM.

I currently live on $5 chickens, but I’m moving to the hub and I’m considering paying the extra dollar for the work chicken. Does anyone have an ingredient list? I prefer eating clean and hope this will reduce my trips to the store. I’m particularly interested in comparing the taste, size, and ingredients of these chickens to Costco chickens.

You should never ever get the ramen bar at the cafeteria.

You will end up gravely disappointed and that $15 will be gone forever.

You've been warned.

So while the price of a meal in the cafeteria has increased 10-15% over the past year, my pay increase was a lousy 3%..... You do the math...... Definitely a competitive work environment!

Heard from strong source that cafeteria contract is not renewed. Closure imminent!

I’m talking any building in RR, breakfast or lunch, it pretty much gets me every time. I can’t be alone.

OK, who did it? There is a new sign up in our breakroom stating it is against company policy to microwave fish. Well played.

I mean, I'm a rule follower. So I am going to microwave some asparagus and broccoli tomorrow, but not fish.

Am I imagining this? Has the cost of eating the cafe gone up dramatically over the last year or so? It seems like my same lunch used to cost around 650-750 is now 10.50. I think the firm used to subsidize the cafe to keep the cost down. Wondering if they took away the subsidy as part of the cost cutting or to pay for the overly lavish Trailblazer cafe.

Hess had the best lunch cafeteria ever…

Big, big kudos to the chief and all kitchen staff!

Nothing is working
People are leaving
Robots are malfunction
Human are loveless
Id--ts are rising
AI more stupid
Intel is sinking
Stock will crash
Layoff is still going
Hiring is freezing up
Money is still printing
No food to eat
No water to drink
Only banana to eat
And coffee to drink

Seems like less people than normal already. Spoke to one of the cafeteria ladies and she agreed. Anyone else thinking the same?

Well lunch was delicious in Burlington today.

What’s the best food from the cafe?

Is the food on the cork site part of the forced wfr attempts.

The standard of the food is frankly disgusting and the menu that gets sent out weekly is often incorrect.

I've been thinking is the food designed to try to destroy our will and quit?
