COMPANY BANS PERSONAL LUNCHES TO CUT COSTS ON AIRCON FILTERING THE SMELLS & HIRING CLEANER

A netizen shared a photo of a notice that he took at his company, announcing that they had banned employees from bringing their own lunch because they are trying to “cut costs”.

Here is what the notice said

Employee Notice

As discussed in our company meeting on 15th March,
Personal Lunches are no longer permitted on the premises.

This is due to:

1. Our Air Conditioning system being unable to filter out the smells from hot food. causing an uncomfortable environment for other employees.
2. Pests entering the property at night and causing damage.
3. Rising energy costs affecting our ability to run and maintain nonessential company equipment. We could invest these funds into considerations of higher importance.
4. Budget Imitations affecting our ability to contract in a cleaner.
5. Other contributing factors

We understand the concerns shared during the meeting. We understand that times are tough with the cost of living crisis, but this also works both ways with both the employer and the employee.

You may store personal kindles In your car and consume them outside of the premises. Alternatively, there is a local supermarket nearby to socialise with other employees on your lunch break

We apologise for any distress this may have caused. I’m sure you understand.

Netizens’ comments

1. That sign is a warning to everyone they are about to go out of business, so start looking for other jobs.
2. Too broke to run a fridge and a microwave? If that were true the company is on it’s way to going under anyway.
   Insist employees leave the property for lunch? Sounds like lunches just got a half hour longer.
3. If paying for cleaning and running a fridge and microwave are too much for your company to handle, your company probably needs to close up shop.
4. If your boss is telling you that the cost of running a fridge and microwave is going to cause the business to go under, then you need to start looking for a new job now. Before the paychecks start bouncing.
5. “I’ll stop bringing meals once you start providing them”
6. Do not hesitate to get in touch via email: leaves email space blank
7. You’re telling me to leave the premises to consume nutrition? I’ll just keep on walking, thanks.
