My coworkers and I had a coffee pot in the break room and most people brewed a pot during the day. We entirely brewed several pots of coffee each day. There was one coffee pot for a while and then the office manager bought one of those machines that can brew more than one pot of coffee at the same time. There were a couple of people that drank decaf and they were always complaining that there was never any fresh coffee. The break room had a couple of snack machines as well. One of the machines had unusual flavors of soda like root beer, orange, cola, and sprite. We also had vending equipment that had different snacks like popcorn, chips, chocolate bars, snack cakes, and gum. My coworkers and I were inside of the room one day making coffee when there was an undoubtedly loud noise and a bunch of drywall fell right on top of us. There was a problem with the ductwork above the lights in the room and the ductwork fell through everything. The drywall, lights, and pieces of the ductwork and wood came tumbling down on top of us. I had a big bruise on the back of my leg for almost 3 weeks. Luckily the business paid for me to take some time off work. They also paid for my coworkers to take some time off work as well while the construction crew fixed the ductwork troubles. The entire floor of the building needed ductwork repairs, everyone injured got a week of paid time off and everyone else only got one week.
