Fighting for a decent work environment

[StartupWhiners @startup_whiners]

Today's lunch option #3 had an obscure soapy aftertaste. We just enjoyed the culinary equivalent of unprotected sex.

This week's coffee beans are from a different origin! Sometimes I believe it would be better if I worked in a tannery.

[StartupWhiners @startup_whiners]

Ah, traces of black sesame in today's (lunch option #3) teriyaki chicken! An elaborate but uninspired ruse to hide an anaemic dish.

[StartupWhiners @startup_whiners]

Today's salad was so salty we could pay a Roman soldier with it.

[StartupWhiners @startup_whiners]

The hardest materials on earth: stone < diamond < adamandium < today's beans.

[StartupWhiners @startup_whiners]

Ah, the coffee machine is broken. The morning coffee which had become insipid, today became non-existent.

[StartupWhiners @startup_whiners]

You know when your working environment has begun its descent into shabbiness when you can't find Gran Smith apples, a basic commodity, in the breakfast buffet.

Today's chicken fillet was so dry that Native Americans did the rain dance around it.

[StartupWhiners @startup_whiners]

The company's coffee machine is broken since this morning. Yesterday I was a mighty lion, the king of the jungle! Today I am a declawed, neutered kitten.

[StartupWhiners @startup_whiners]

Due to the company's immense growth, over 20 new hires assumed precious space and oxygen in the common area today, making it impossible to enjoy my morning coffee.

[StartupWhiners @startup_whiners]

Sometimes I consider myself as a humble pugnacious sardine going up against the austere corporate sharks.

[StartupWhiners @startup_whiners]

Political regimes have changed for less than today's "mushroom and greens" menu option #3. An appalling and morally repugnant act that insulted the very foundations of civil society and human dignity.

[StartupWhiners @startup_whiners]

The bread slices in our breakfast buffet are too thick. How much longer are we going along with this pusillanimous charade?

[StartupWhiners @startup_whiners]

Yet another lunch break ruined. Let's just say that the proportion of potatoes in our meat soup today was less than optimal.

[StartupWhiners @startup_whiners]

The $800 Herman Miller chairs we were given for free don’t allow us sitting contorted as snakes, as is our preferred way of coding. Such a waste.

[StartupWhiners @startup_whiners]

Catered salad was full of strawberries today. There is a fine line between a normal salad and a fruit salad. Regrettably, it has been crossed.

[StartupWhiners @startup_whiners]

Another after-lunch adventure. My ice cream had traces of caramel.

[StartupWhiners @startup_whiners]

Where should we order coffee from? The subject evokes gut-level disagreement among colleagues.

[StartupWhiners @startup_whiners]

Today, we submitted a formal demand to shift our standup time by 10 minutes, so as to have more time to enjoy our breakfast.

[StartupWhiners @startup_whiners]

Our happiness manager finally provided each team with its own antiseptic foam dispenser. I deem this a prudent investment.
