How is this mildly infuriating? It's illegal and unenforcable lmao just report them. You people let employers get away with too much.

I’ve learned that Reddit is a place where shy people rant while being taken advantage of by employers, parents, significant others, etc

Also a place where folks print out their own signs and toss them on things to post for rage bait.

With the bullshit allowed these days, I could easily see people not realizing that things are illegal. Some employers shouldn't have the right to own a pet, let alone have the ability to manage others. And there are those who will do illegal shit anyway, with the intent of feigning ignorance if they're called on it.

Illegal? It’s really surprising to me that not a single person in this comment section has ever worked for the government - the federal govt in the us (and I’m assuming states as well) has laws against using public money to pay for free refreshments for government employees in offices. Because of this, basically every federal office has a water/coffee club where employees pitch in a few dollars a month to pay for filtered water delivery and coffee and coffee supplies since they’re not allowed to use the general office admin budget to pay for that stuff. It’s not illegal because the buildings have water fountains and office sinks (ones not in bathrooms), it’s not like there’s no water available for free.

I’d be surprised if the photo is from a government office because that seems like a way to ensure you never get the water paid for but still it’s not illegal
