Yeah, Essondon, nice dummy spit. And YES companies like Qantas CAN afford to supply Chrissy drinks for all their staff. Just ask the Execs that take home their juicy bonuses. A very small portion of which would pay for those functions.
Now A.M. when you settle down from your little tantrum and name calling, have a little think about it, even read tobzalp's post. He sees the point clearly, and I normally spill more than $40 worth down my shirtfront most nights,so it ain't a question of money. It is all about the company looking after the staff, not the staff looking after themselves. Most large corporations making good profits would be surprised to find out what they COULD be earning if they had all their employees on side.
I will be away and if my Boss doesn't buy me a drink, I will certainly shout him a few rounds. Don't forget, it's all about Company goodwill encouraging a little more staff loyalty.
