Trouble is, this seems absolutely inconsequential compared to what the government was doing for 3 years.
So does my company. Who cares?
Some call centre staff finishing an hour early to chill out after a long week is not the problem, and everyone knows it. The soaring energy prices are not hinging on a few beers at the office.
The government and the rich are to blame, stop trying to get the workers to hate each other.
Company does something nice for its employees. What an outrage.
I’ve worked for a few energy companies – out of all those Octopus actually give a shit about making things better.
They’re only the highest rated supplier in the UK. There’s a reason for that.
Is the mail really trying to draw comparison with Boris the Bullshitter here and his boozy partying 🤔…. because they are so so different
Who doesn’t?
Good on them!
Wonderful that they have this time to chill, and I’ve still had my questions answered by their team over the weekend.
Last time I checked Octopus energy wasn’t running the fucking country, wasn’t giving £millions of taxpayers money to mates with no checks, hadn’t negotiated an exit from Europe that is so bad, they need to Redo it, hadn’t lied to the queen, public, own party, hadn’t all gone on holiday as the country burns and is hit on numerous fronts by problems that are made worse by repeated inaction, Brexit and nimbyism…. Etc etc.
But hey, must concentrate on the important stuff like being anti woke, so you can call a spade a spade and privatising Ch4…..
Mail readers and their reporters are just fucking cunts.
And…? So do most companies.
This is becoming standard practice in large tech companies because having a social event at the end of the week is a bloody good way to informally brainstorm solutions to unsolved problems with help from people you don’t normally work with. The difference with the government is most people were doing it virtually during the pandemic and they sent the beers out by post and if you got absolutely plastered you’d probably be given the sack
Wonder if they’ve ever seen a Wework.
Everyone stops about 4 on friday and goes to the free beer/wine/prosecco and drinks till they run out (about 7) before getting stuck in the London rush to escape for the weekend.
I used to work for a company that did the same. It was basically fine, couple of beers with your work colleagues, then you leave to go to a pub. No harm no foul IMO.
Make sure u specifically mention it’s Corona there Daily Mail, gotta get that product placement!
So? Wish I could.
Let’s hope they don’t drink too much. It must be even harder to be legless when you have eight of them.
Nice. I started at 1pm
So do most companies, we have a beer tap in the kitchen! It’s a free for all after 4pm on a Friday
