Effective Thursday, August 11th we will be discontinuing the bottled water service at The Sun’s business office and production plant. Just a reminder that we do have water fountains on both floors of both buildings. Please use the water faucets in the break rooms for making coffee if there is not already a faucet located at your coffee station.It's a time of belt-tightening everywhere. Santa Monica College, which owns the offices where I work, just gave up Sparkletts for Arrowhead, as a way to save money.

No bottled water under the Sun
Perhaps there are environmental factors behind this, but the decision to end water-cooler service at the San Bernardino Sun feels like a cost-savings move. Here's note to staffers:

The Breeze hasn't had a water cooler since we moved from the old building a couple of years ago. Instead, a single Brita for the whole office. Can you say cooties?
Well, the boys and girls at lang are finally getting serious about turning their operation around. No bottled water, that will save them. Let me know when they go to single ply toilet paper too. These are all Harvard MBA case studies.
A list of other ideas might include raising the price of soda from their dispensers, charge employees for parking since it is a joy to work there, charge for outgoing phone calls, and finally, eliminate stupid announcements saving the paper they are printed on. If they did that Hamilton would be out of work.
San Berdoo, be thankful you still have breakrooms. The Daily News just lost its lunchroom, conference room and half of the newsroom so the front office could deduct the rent from the bottom line. The newsroom now has a wall made of white plastic sheeting dividing staffers from our now-vacant desks. Having failed with their strategy of death by a thousand cuts, the management is trying to suffocate us with a giant dry cleaning bag.
Won't be long before we lose are coffee too! Tuff times...
you still have coffee? you work at a country club.
who is running the advertising department at these lang papers? i can't decide if it is manny, moe and jack, or congress while on a summer break.
does anyone there know how to make money selling?
Wow, water is a luxury to LANG? That explains a lot. I'm surprised LANG/MNG hasn't made the managing editor walk around the newsroom selling drinks, candy, chips and smokes during their shift.
The tried, none were capable...even the sales management group failed.
Pay toilets are next.
You have to admit it, these twits are damn good at what they do.
The water fountains don't taste very good either. Little things can mean a lot, and this means that they couldn't care less about the people who work there. Sad.
We have coffee and water in our office, but they took away the ice machine a couple years back. Sounds small, but as the previous poster wrote, little things make a big difference for employe morale.
