Does your company provide tissue boxes?

Stupid/silly question, but ...

I asked my office manager today if they have any in the supply stash.

He looked at me like I was talking a foreign language...and kind of chuckled...

Guess that's a bring your own kind of thing.

I have always had employers that provided this but blew me away that mine didn't.

Does yours?

uh, no.

I can get work provided ones, but they are so terrible (rough, scratchy) that I prefer to buy my own.

I found some one day in our supply room. Didn't expect it, but I was willing to take advantage. But generally, I think that one's a bring your own.

Work provides the boxes that are in the bathrooms. I have to supply the ones that I keep at my desk. I've worked in two private and one government facility over 24 years and it's always been that way.

Mine does

My company is a big government contractor and doesn't supply tissues.

We are a govt. contractor (not that big though), tissues are provided, albeit cheap, rough ones.

[Anonymous]

We do, but we also produce them, so it makes sense.

I work for the Fed. Gov.
Right on. My nose needs Puffs. My co-irkers try to use my Puffs instead of the work issued ones. No, you want Puffs buy your own.
They dont provide plastic spoons, forks, knives. There is a big drawer in the kitchen of old/used utensils. If you use them you wash them out in the kitchen area and place them back in the drawer. DISGUSTING. I saw that the first day and I promptly went down to the Walmart and bought some in bulk and keep them in my desk. I bring my own utensils. Yes...there are people that actually use the used utensils, wash them and place them back in the drawer.

Chem-wipes.

BTW I'm the poster above and the old used utensils that are washed out for later use are plastic so it's a fun free for the office to use.

[Anonymous]

um, of course not.

Tissues only provided in the bathroom. Bring your own desk box. I only had one employer that you could get a desk box from.

We have Kleenex at our office. If you have a cold or something though it's not cool just to take the entire box to your desk and blow through it.
