These power hungry weirdos can’t even give us our free coffee back after forcing everybody to come back to the office. It’s pathetic. Any time I mention this to a friend outside of Cigna, they are d-mbfounded that we don’t have coffee for employees. It’s embarrassing. But hey it’s okay we get Cigna standout points.

I am a salaried tech lead. Buying k-cups at 40c x 50/week for a team is only $20/week and improves morale. I lose more than 20 hours/month training someone one if an employee or contractor leaves.
Of course, they need it. They are hard at work daily. (Sarcasm)
“I bet the C-suite offices have coffee...”
I have meetings in the C-suite offices in Bloomfield periodically and I can confirm that they absolutely do have free coffee for the execs.
We have caffeine in our Bevi so you can get hyped up

“Go work for Google if you want free lunches”
Can you help me get on there?
Do you know a good internal reference?
Steer clear of the coffee machines in CT. I brought my own k-cups and got immediately sick after using their coffee machines - more than once. Who knows the last time it’s been cleaned. 🤢
If you brew it, they will come!!!
Coffee in a office for workers that is free has been a staple since the 50's or even earlier. When a large multi-billion dollar company can't provide a basic perk to keep employees happy and functioning, it's a strong indicator that company is broken. Cigna is pinching pennies to make the shareholders happy.
What a cry baby you are! There is literally Starbucks in the cafeteria! Go work for Google if you want free lunches. No one has forced you to work here.
Morris Plains is the same - no free coffee although some leaders have provided k cups, creamers etc for their own groups. Franklin Lakes we had free coffee in every pantry but hey in Morris Plains we have 1 Bevi machine that works half the time...
“Coffee? Coffee? We talking about coffee? Not breakfast? But coffee!”
To the person concerned with the way I framed my “”rant””.
Yes, people have complained. Some people leaders actually went and bought kuerigs for their floors.
When our department complained the leaders were confused that the poors cared about free coffee.
I’m concerned in the way you just framed your “rant”. Have you communicated this to any manager and if so did you explain the benefits of providing coffee to employees AND how that would benefit the company? Maybe improve morale, boost productivity, create an environment or culture or area to chat about new ideas?!!
If you provide complaints with no solutions be prepared to talk to a wall anywhere you work!
Why bother to provide complimentary coffee when there is a perfectly fine cafeteria where you can buy some? It's not enough to force us in, they also need to profit from our presence.
That's capitalism for ya...
“What office”
The STL office. Pre-Covid we had 3-4 coffee pots on every floor. Now some floors have Kuerigs but bring your own K cups. I find myself scavenging for catered meetings that seem like they can spare some of their coffee.
What office? Mine has coffee
We do? Not here, as far as I know.
