Is honey considered more of a food item lads?

  1. Unless you’re smearing it on your junk, I don’t see how it could be considered anything else other than food.

  2. I’d say honey would be closer to jam ,chocolate spread or peanut butter more then sugar.

    Would still argue not having to pay out of pocket all the same. Esspecially if just using it in tea/coffee/cereal .

  3. That sounds like a horrible place to work albeit I wouldn’t be expecting the company to pay for the honey for my porridge

  4. If you’re gonna buy Boyne Valley, you may as well get the squeezy from Lidl.

    Man, I miss the **good** honey from Lidl. Glad that Mileeven is in Tesco, at least.

  5. I mean, they said they “don’t not want” to be called out on it, so I say just keep doing it because clearly they’re looking for an excuse to get in a room with Michael. Frankly, you’re doing them a favour.

  6. Don’t not want Michael calling him out?

    Seems like he wants Michael to call him out.

    I’m getting mixed signals here. Does this mean we can keep buying the honey?

  7. The mad thing, I’ve worked in these type of jobs, is Micheal doesn’t give a fiddlers about honey.

    Some bootlicker has taken it upon themselves to make sure none of the staff does anything to upset micheal because one day micheal gave them control of the teabag money.

    Nobody’s gonna fuck this up.

    Micheal doesn’t know what hes unleashed.

    He didn’t make Jane a supervisor, but he didn’t not make her a supervisor either.

    Jane’s stopped taking holidays because she is too important, the place would fall apart without her. Nobody knows which socket the coffee machine is plugged into to switch it onto the morning. Lads would be buying the teabags in the shop that’s dearer. Probably going missing for hours to get teabags.

    Not Jane, she’s in and out of Tesco in minutes. She knows Ann on customer service and she scans the teabags for her there to save her queuing even though she isn’t getting the lotto.

    James operating at 110 percent capacity and is headed for burnout running the teabags.

  8. Wouldn’t even mind but that’s not actually honey, it’s boyne valley sugar syrup from china. Absolute shite. Support your local beekeeper.

  9. I’d be more worried about the Pukka tea or Nescafe Azura both of which are pricy compared to other options.

  10. Tesco honey smells like urine. Made the mistake of buying that once, never again. Boyne Valley or off ye trot. Could you let us know the company name as this note is so ridiculously petty I want to be sure I’m not buying any of its products or services.

  11. Whether or not this is an acceptable expense aside…. This could surely have been a short chat, a quick call or at worst an email?

    Passive agressive notes for other people in the office to see is just fucking weird. That’s assuming there’s anyone else in the office. If it’s just the two of them I’m not sure if it would be more or less weird.

  12. We used to have “communal” honey in work for cold and flu season to pop a bit in your tea if you were feeling under the weather.

    Tell Michael that you feel victimised that they want to take away medical supplies.

  13. Michael won’t approve that a perfectly good A4 page was wasted for this when an email would suffice.

  14. This is a red flag if ever i’ve seen one.

    I took a job in a tech MSSP company. They had a jar that staff would need to put money into, in order to buy the milk and tea bags.

    This wasn’t the reason I left within the first week, but it was one of the top 5 reasons.

  15. I worked in a shop once where they were ok with expensing a bottle of milk for us in the morning

    Some of the lads started having it with their cereal or just having a glass of it and we were told that it was just meant to be for tea or coffee

    So then the lads started having tea that was just a cup of milk with a teabag in it shoved in the microwave for two minutes

    It was actually really nice in fairness
