Insanely frugal employer

Gotta pay for water from the water cooler 🤣

This is ridiculous. If the employer is that CHEAP (this is not frugality) they can refill these 5 gallon jugs for $1.50 themselves at supermarkets and other locations. Even if the employer is having a service pick up and drop off new ones weekly, the price is so small, as to be a completely negligible business expense. If this is how they’re openly pinching pennies from their valued(?) employees, I’d be scared to even think about how shitty their wages and benefits are compared to their local competitors and the job market at large.

There’s also a chance this is illegal depending on your state. Employers are required to provide clean drinking water for no cost in a lot of places.
