It is not from the company. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1781505 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 11:45:23 +0000 mrswin 1781505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>coffee/tea, water cooler, assorted pop and juice :happy:</p> <p>Oh and we do cake for team members birthdays and lunch once in a while when we have finished or are working on a big project 2-3 times per year </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1781471 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 11:35:22 +0000 looch 1781471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just coffee and milk. I won't even touch the coffee, lol. It comes premade in a big bag. No thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1781457 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 11:31:44 +0000 KT326 1781457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On a daily basis we have a soda machine, coffee, various milks, and tea. The sink has filtered water. Every Friday we get OJ, donuts, bagels, and fresh cut fruit. During quarter end we get around 6-8 nights of dinners and lunch/dinner over the first working weekend. Certain meetings or trainings will also have food/snacks or dessert. We also have a really nice cafe in one of the buildings where we get a discount. I work at a software company. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1781371 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 11:04:36 +0000 NeekieRose 1781371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Free coffee, tea, and filtered water. They don't provide food at any meetings, except for once a year when the Board of Directors visit and we get pizza. They do small recognition ceremonies for people's work anniversaries (in 5 year intervals), and it has to be a 25+ year plaque in order for there to be cookies. </p> <p>I work at a non profit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1781321 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 10:43:23 +0000 BKCaribBaby 1781321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coffee, Lipton tea, all kinds of milk. There are always meeting leftovers lying around, and sometimes you can actually make a lunch out of it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1781288 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 10:31:48 +0000 cascademom 1781288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. On our floor, we're known for being vultures when meetings let out. Right now, I'm happy that somebody stocked our break room with a box of PG Tips. </p> <p>@wheres_c: I love that pic you posted of the banana table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1781267 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 10:22:59 +0000 whenoceansrise 1781267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have free coffee and tea. Sometimes the drug reps bring us lunch and snacks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1781229 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 10:14:30 +0000 swurlygurl 1781229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My last job had free lunch, and it was GOOD food!</p> <p>My current job has free fruit, and a snack/drink bar where everything is $0.50. They take a small hit because it's pricier stuff like Cliff bars, big bags of chips, Monster, Red Bull, natural granola etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1781213 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 10:10:27 +0000 Alivoo01 1781213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! And I'm a fan!! It's so cool. We started it recently and have a plethora of options in both snacks and drinks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1780946 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 08:54:16 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1780946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Technically they are snacks for the patients so..... yeah no otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1780906 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 08:47:09 +0000 LuLu Mom 1780906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have coffee (which I don't drink) with creamer/sugar. And a popcorn machine (which I don't eat.) haha and the water from the facet is free ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1780877 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 08:42:04 +0000 snowjewelz 1780877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have coffee &amp; milk. But I work in fashion; in both my jobs, in our corporate headquarters there isn't much, but in the city where the showrooms and clients are, the fridges are stocked with drinks, they got snacks, and free lunch always magically appears... lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1780481 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 04:26:09 +0000 nana87 1780481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My old job had coffee and tea, and lunch at monthly staff meetings and some events. And donuts on fri but people chipped in for those</p> <p>In grad school, there's food at some events and then leftovers get taken to our departments lounge and it's like this: <a href="http://phdcomics.com/comics/archive/phd090709s.gif" rel="nofollow">http://phdcomics.com/comics/archive/phd090709s.gif</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1780462 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 02:37:54 +0000 Grace 1780462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to have free coffee, tea, iced tea and hot chocolate. Then we had some rough years, downsizing and they took it all away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1780458 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 02:24:53 +0000 lemondrop 1780458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if we have an inservice or the monthly birthday cake. Pizza Hut comes to campus three times a week, but we still have to pay for it. </p> <p>I am so jealous of your Friday beers... my productivity would go way up if they would give me beer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1780427 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 23:55:29 +0000 Sapphiresun 1780427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePeony: For sure, hey? We don't even have a water cooler because I work for the municipal government, and need to model that municipal tap water is just fine for drinking, and no cups available because we have to model sustainability, so if you forget your bottle you're screwed unless another employee has brought in the mugs they couldn't sell at their garage sale or whatever to stock the dish cupboard. </p> <p>But yeah, nothing free at our work place. We have snacks available to purchase, but they're probably double the price you'd pay in a vending machine anywhere else since it's all fundraisers for city programming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1780417 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 23:39:20 +0000 sunny 1780417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePeony: omg! seriously? </p> <p>For me, when I think of the "perks" of a govt job, it is job security and pension. I think it is only software companies that have free food, drinks, snacks, gear, on-site massage, etc.</p> <p>When I visited the FB office they had a giant wall of snacks including full size candy bars. I am pretty sure that I wouldn't be able to resist having Twix just about every day if I worked there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1780320 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 21:43:38 +0000 mrs. wagon 1780320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing. We have a Brita and a Keurig but you have to provide your own kcups. We do get a nice discount in the cafeteria and other museum restaurants though!</p> <p>ETA: All my previous companies had free drinks! One had a coke machine that was free, you just pushed the button. That was fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1780304 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 21:32:05 +0000 PurplePeony 1780304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nada. Employees even have to pay if we want to use the water cooler. I always want to laugh in people's faces when they complain about all the "perks" government employees get, 'cuz I haven't ever been privy to them... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1780269 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 21:09:56 +0000 MrsA 1780269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just what people bring in! And water. Nothing exciting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1780262 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 21:06:18 +0000 Smurfette 1780262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Water, tea, and coffee. The department buys lunch 2 days during qtr. close </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1780243 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 20:50:22 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1780243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, nothing! Not even water.<br /> ETA: there's running water, lol...you just probably wouldn't want to drink it. Its all chlorine-y </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1780242 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 20:49:49 +0000 creativemomma15 1780242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get breakfast, lunch, &amp; an afternoon snack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-work-have-free-snacks-and-drinks#post-1780234 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 20:47:29 +0000 autumnlove 1780234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Soda, coffee, tea, Friday bagels or donuts and a BBQ every month. </p>
