    In any office job I’ve worked, I would have been able to accomplish jack shit for the second half of the day without a break with some food and good coffee.

    Also, breaks in which you can do whatever you want are enforced by law around here, and I’d be surprised if it isn’t the same in Australia.

    That man is both a dick, and a fool.

      Where I live, they can only enforce that you stay on site during breaks if they pay you for your breaks, and lord knows they don’t want to do that

      I consider the question of free coffee to be a litmus test for any company. If you’re not offering it, you are unequivocally a loser not worthy of running a company:

      1. It costs next to nothing
      2. Caffeine makes the workers more productive
      3. Your best outcome is workers who drink a healthy amount of coffee every day

      The expected return of offering free unlimited coffee for any work place is positive - and the inverse of not offering free coffee is hence negative.

        Pretty much any office I’ve been in had free coffee. Good free coffee, now that’s few and far between.
