'Why are we having a conversation about how to justify the cost of necessary hygiene products when kegs and chardonnay are considered essential!'
Tampons or Wine, the Eternal Dilemma
My employees keep putting feminine sanitary items on that board. I quizzed building maintenance and found that these items are for sale in all the ladies’ restrooms for 25 cents each. Should I be buying these items with corporate money, and how can I justify it one way or the other?How nice that you keep your staff well fed and with access to multiple booze options.
Your well-compensated employees also could surely afford their own snacks, but you have made the wise decision that offering some options is a cheap and easy way to make people more satisfied at work. Now you want to undo all that good will by telling a significant portion of those people that you can’t “justify” the cost of products they need for their physical health. A box of 96 tampons will run you 15 bucks at Costco, which is a small price to pay to not look like a total jerk.
The next step in my career could be a prestigious position in the U.S., and I live in fear that I will be “exposed” when I apply. Even if I get the role, I worry what the announcement email will sound like to my new colleagues. I know this seems superficial and petty. But my real issue is that my undergraduate degree does not go with my self-image as a world traveling, New Yorker-reading, Amalfi-vacationing executive.
