This is such a cheap a-s company. I feel coffee is a bare minimum that a company should provide in office for employees, not overpriced Starbucks sugar water but just a regular drip coffee.

Come take a look around 171. Urinals, sinks.... everything is out of order. Water stained ceiling tiles everywhere without fixing the root cause. No maintenance is done anymore.

I've heard from a friend of a friend they are going to start charging for parking but validate if you clock your 3 days onsite per week (joking) but would it really surprise anyone?!

Don't drink the water from the "filtered" water dispensers. I think the last time the filter was replaced was pre pandemic.

They are shaving pennies from everywhere.
