Indian office upgrades to free premium coffee to make employees happy, but it backfired hilariously-- Here's what happened
With discussions on topics of work-life balance and office culture becoming common these days, a recent post on the 'Indian Workplace' subreddit has caught much attention online. Why? In the post the person, who works in an Indian company, shared how after serving poor quality coffee to employees, in a delightful move their company treated the employees with a premium coffee machine. The employees loved this change so much that many started visiting the pantry more frequently. But, alas, what happened next was simply amusing. It all started when a company, tired of being roasted for its terrible coffee (more like burnt bean water), decided to level up. On April 1, 2025— no joke— they teamed up with Nestlé to bring in fancy new machines that could whip up everything from cold coffee and hot chocolate to tomato soup and iced tea. Sounds dreamy, right? Well, the dream didn't last long. The new beverage setup turned the office pantry into a mini buffet— and everyone showed up hungry. Instead of using the coffee machine responsibly and judiciously, employees started having it as meals. Some even grouped near the machines, to hog everything. If you showed up late? Too bad. The chocolate drink and soup were all over. Soon, managers began noticing that employees started stretching their coffee breaks and most work desks became empty, while the pantry buzzed with excited people. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pensando em viajar?

The six-month stockpile of premixes vanished in two months flat. With costs increasing and productivity dipping, the management eventually decided to scrap the fancy machines and bring back the old coffee makers that brewed more disappointment than coffee. And those who were responsibly using the coffee machines were devastated. The moral of the story? When given premium perks, maybe don't treat them like a 2 a.m. hostel buffet. Otherwise, it's back to bad coffee and broken dreams.

CM Rekha Gupta performs Yamuna Aarti at Vasudev Ghat to mark 100 days of BJP govt in Delhi
New Delhi [India], May 31 (ANI): Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta performed Yamuna Aarti at Vasudev Ghat on Saturday to mark the completion of 100 days of the BJP government in Delhi. The Delhi Chief Minister could be seen offering prayers at the ghat alongwith the other party members. Addressing the gathering, Delhi CM Rekha Gupta said, 'The Delhi government and the city's residents have taken the decision to clean the River Yamuna. Social workers also will be part of this.' Taking a swipe at the previous AAP government, Rekha Gupta said, 'The previous governments used to lie about Yamuna cleaning. They did not take a single step towards Yamuna cleaning...' Rekha Gupta participated in the '100 Din Seva Ke' program earlier in the day. The Chief Minister slammed her predecessor, saying they had claimed to be ordinary people who became greedy for power, while her government is working on the streets among the people. 'When the movement started from Ramlila Maidan, thousands and lakhs of people joined it, I joined too, others also supported it, thinking something better would happen in Delhi and the country. Those people who used to say that they are not greedy for power became so greedy that they could not see anything except cabinet, our MLAs, all the public representatives continuously work on the streets among the people...' The Delhi Chief Minister also criticised the previous AAP government for questioning the valour of the Armed Forces. Speaking with actor Anupam Kher, Rekha Gupta said, 'I feel very sad when I think about those people who used to sit in the chair (of Chief Minister) and raise questions on the Indian Armed Forces and used to join hands with the enemies of the Sindoor increased the respect for women. I thank PM Modi for the women of the nation salute the armed forces for destroying the terrorist sites in enemy territory...' She added that the bravery shown by the armed forces had strengthened the pride of Indian women. 'Together we bow down to those who have shown bravery in the Operation Sindoor,' she said. Later, she recited a poem titled 'I am Sindoor too'. 'I am patient in silence, I am brave in challenge. Yes, I am Sindoor too, I am the slaughterer of terrorists, I am the limit of courage, I am Jeevan Daatri, I am Sahar's Sakshi, I am Vermilion. I am the gift of every daughter-in-law. I am India's tomorrow, and today I am Hindustani modesty, yes, I am Sindoor. When Anupam Kher asked why she loved Delhi, Rekha Gupta shared her deep admiration for the city's cultural diversity. 'What I like best about Delhi is unity. This is the form of Ek Mini India, Ek Bharat,' she said. She also explained that people from every part of India live in Delhi, and together they celebrate each other's traditions and festivals. 'Today, if we all celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi of Maharashtra, we also play Garba of Gujarat enthusiastically. When you celebrate the 'Teej' of Haryana, 'Chhath Puja' of Bihar is also celebrated with great ceremony,' she added. Gupta also revealed the first decision of her government, saying, 'We will celebrate the State Day of every state here and the government will always stand in the happiness and sorrow of every state.' Actor Anupam Kher on Saturday joined the Delhi government's special event to mark 100 days of its current term under Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. (ANI)

100 days of BJP govt: Delhi CM highlights policy push, integrity in governance
'My government spent 100 days in making policies and working for the betterment of Delhi,' she said, adding, 'We can't make false promises. We are working honestly to solve issues like the cleaning of the Yamuna and removal of garbage dumps.' Making Delhi clean, beautiful and healthy is the Delhi government's priority, the chief minister said in a conversation with film actor Anupam Kher during the programme. Speaking at a public programme at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here to mark the BJP's 100 days in power, she emphasised that her administration has put focus on policy formulation and accused the previous government of neglecting civic facilities in the national capital. New Delhi, May 31 (PTI) 'We can't make false promises,' said Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday while underlining that public welfare and structural reforms have been prioritised by her government which has completed 100 days. While detailing the BJP government's achievements in the past 100 days, Gupta accused the previous AAP dispensation of neglecting health infrastructure, education and Yamuna pollution, among other sectors. 'They sat in their Sheeshmahal with lavish curtains, tuning into only the news they liked. While they decorated their halls with corruption, we have rebuilt Delhi with honesty.' Though the 100 days may be few, they have been transformative for Delhi, Gupta asserted. 'While previous governments only focused on publicity, we approved the Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation & Regulation of Fees) Bill, 2025, to end the arbitrariness of private schools,' she said. The chief minister highlighted that her government would bring an ordinance to regulate fees charged by private schools. Gupta also asserted that no slums will be demolished and no one will be displaced unless provided with permanent houses. The government has allocated Rs 700 crore for providing facilities in the slums, she said. In conversation with Kher, she recited the poem 'Main Bhi Sindoor Hun' and asserted that Operation Sindoor, decimating terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, was a victory against terrorism. The event was also attended by all Cabinet Ministers of Delhi government, BJP MPs and MLAs. She highlighted the previous government merely 'put up a show' in the name of cleaning the Yamuna, while untreated sewage continued to flow into it. In contrast, her government made Yamuna rejuvenation a top priority from the get-go. A Rs 9,000-crore provision was made in the Delhi Jal Board budget to strengthen the sewerage system and water supply infrastructure, the chief minister said. She said the previous government kept Delhi out of the Ayushman Bharat scheme due to its 'ego and stubbornness'. The BJP government corrected this in the very first Cabinet meeting, approving the implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) in Delhi, Gupta said. So far, over 3.5 lakh Ayushman cards have been issued, and more than 1.5 lakh senior citizens have benefitted from the scheme. Nearly 80 hospitals have been empanelled, and construction of 1,139 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs is underway, she listed. The chief minister raised concern over the state of medical infrastructure and said the previous government merely showcased health reforms without taking any concrete action. The current state is such that there isn't even one hospital bed per 1,000 people in Delhi, she claimed. 'The Delhi government now pledges to ensure the availability of at least three beds per 1,000 people over the coming years,' she said. The BJP government has taken concrete steps to eliminate legacy waste sites by starting round-the-clock processing and bio-mining of 30,000 metric tons of garbage daily, Gupta added. 'Waste-to-energy plant installations are progressing swiftly. The target is to completely remove the Bhalaswa and Okhla landfill sites within the next two years.' She also highlighted the efforts of her government to fight air pollution and boost green energy generation. Speaking on women's empowerment, the CM highlighted the launch of the 'Mahila Samriddhi Yojana,' under which financially weak women will receive Rs 2,500 monthly assistance for which Rs 5,100 crore has been allocated for this initiative. She stated that these are not just achievements of 100 days, but a reflection of a government that works round-the-clock for the people.
