Root825994yI had a boss ask me that before.
I said no and gave him a look like he had crossed a line. He was a little taken aback and never asked again. -
What age do those people think they live in? The age of serfdom in rural Russia or something? How do you grow up as a functional human being without knowing that’s a rude thing to do?

Xoka12804yPreviously the company I worked for, we were so friendly, we had days assigned who to make coffee on which day. So, when it was my turn, I made coffee for everyone & I think, it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Cause, I never knew that I could do something other than programming :/

well, knowing how to say a simple (constructive) NO goes a long way ;) Quitting your job to say a (destructive) NO -- not so much...
BTW I recall folks at my work actually insisted on making me a coffee that one week (deadlines were closing in) :D While it might sound nice, it felt quite awkward. -
What if in your new job someone will ask you to make a coffee for them? Will you resign too and find another job again?

Hehe, reminds me of my internship..as the only girl I was asked to make coffee..turkish coffee..I never in my life brew it myself cuz my stomack can't stand the residue..sooo...I think I made it too strong for most people..or it totally sucked, I dunno..anyways, they never asked again.. safety precations I guess.. 🤣🤣🤣😇

And here I am *asking* what coffee others want.
Saying no to small pleasantries. Didn't realize it could be a powermove but apparently it is.
"could you hold the door?"
me: "NO. I AM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS!" -
The startups I worked on had a pretty nice policy: if you go grab coffee and the jar is empty, you make coffee. As everyone needs coffee, the one noticing the scarcity of crude oil was pretty much random.

@priandpasta Well I didn't plan to make it too strong, I was just clueless how to make it properly..
But yeah, if you guys have problems with brewing coffee, intentionally brewing a bad one might get you off the hook.. xD
