Unhappily Ebbers After – No Coffee For WorldCom

Having worked at a small company that was acquired by WorldCom, I know a number of people who still work there. I had heard before about WorldCom cutting off the coffee supply to the employees, and I’m happy to see that the press has picked up on this, too. WCOM claims they will save $4-6 million a year by not supplying free coffee. How short-sighted are these people? $4M from a $30 BILLION a year company? Sheesh. Sounds like a good time to clean up the resume and find a company that appreciates its employees, rather than viewing them as a liability.
