Some of you may know I have shifted office last November. My company used to have two offices, but since November, all have merged into one office. In my current (new) office, there are two sections - the one on the left belongs to the old office for the existing staff already there, the one on the right is the newly-renovated office for those that just moved in, with the reception counter in the middle, between the two sides.
Late last year, the pantry of the old office underwent a renovation. Now that pantry is twice the size of the pantry of the new office (the side where I am at). Because of that, the coffee-maker and everything else shifted to the new (big) pantry, leaving us to make do with just a flask, kettle and water cooler in our (small) pantry.
Recently, the office manager bought a new coffee-maker and put it in the small pantry. It makes sense because both our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Finance Officer are in the new office. But some people protested. They said the pantry at the old office underwent a renovation, so how can we use the new coffee-maker? We should take the old coffee-maker and shift the new one to that side!
Of course, there are other people who said why must everything new belong to the big pantry? Are we not entitled to anything too? It is more fair if we take the new coffee-maker since we already do not have a new big pantry.
Then they went on to battle about the variety of tea the small pantry has. There are four varieties of tea, whereas in the big pantry, there is only one type of tea. So people then said how come we have so many varieties of tea whereas they only have one? Erh.. we have so many because people actually buy from overseas and put it in the pantry for everyone to use?
The nature of people really sickens me at times. Instead of real work issues, people in the same office argue about trivial things like this! To me, does it matter which coffee-maker, which pantry, how much tea you have? If people want anything, they are free to come to the small pantry to use the products, just like how we used to go to the big pantry to use the utensils, yet no one complained about that!
