Break rooms are supposed to be a sanctuary, a place where you can escape your boss, scarf down leftovers, and pretend your life choices are totally fine.
But for some unlucky workers, the “break room” is more of a broom closet with a chair, a flickering light, and maybe a coffee pot that charges per cup. Honestly they’re lucky if they even get a chair.
These workplace break rooms redefine the word “minimal.” If you’ve ever wondered what rock bottom looks like in the workplace, you’re in the right place.
