Shangnong Coffee reported: Any decent office will always have two shiny coffee pots, and coffee is available for free all day long. Some more sophisticated offices even have a dedicated small coffee room for employees to enjoy during their breaks. Thus, the "pleasant music" of metal spoons stirring coffee here has become a part of corporate culture.
Providing free coffee is actually a strategy of combining kindness with severity for the bosses of the company. As we all know, the better the benefits in an office, the stricter the management. The silent working atmosphere and the constant glances from the boss in the transparent glass room are allæ— å½¢pressures that make people extremely nervous. Therefore, once you put on that uniform, you are like a wound-up spring, busy all the time, and you also need to show your work results in the shortest possible time because in the boss's eyes, "efficiency" is the first standard for measuring employees.
You can imagine, in such a working environment, when you face a pile of documents to be processed and feel worried; when you have just been criticized by your superior and feel angry but cannot express it or dare not express it; when you have worked overnight and feel dizzy but still have to attend an important meeting, a steaming cup of fragrant coffee is undoubtedly the most suitable adjustment.
Such a "gentle policy" that costs little but is full of human touch is very popular among employees, so the "pain" of being "whipped" is not so hard to bear. In any area where there are many offices, coffee shops are sure to do brisk business.
I haven't verified whether drinking coffee is addictive, but most white-collar workers' love for coffee can be described as "cool". The elegant and skilled act of drinking coffee has almost become the "portrait" of all white-collar workers, and coffee has subtly become an accessory to the office.
It's no wonder that when people increasingly realize they are living on a train called "rushing around", Shangnong Coffee naturally stands out as the best drink to relieve "pressure". In this liquid that carries the aroma of milk, sweetness, and bitterness, people who work and live under pressure find a suitable excuse to exchange information, release grievances, and draw warmth from each other, thus gaining an enthusiastic and spirited tone of life. Behind this tone lies the recognition of freedom and rebellion against the orderly life of the office. Let's call it the "coffee culture" of the office!
