I’m of the opinion that one should check for culture fit at a workplace by asking the question: donuts or bagels and cream cheese for breakfast meetings?

Donut places make me deeply unhappy, I have now found a bagel and cream cheese employer.
-
@skinnylatte I've mostly worked for "state funds cannot be used to buy food" employers
-
@nirak I’ve been at ‘city government can’t pay for donuts but everyone who works there buys them and nothing else for meetings’
-
Of course back home, new international immigrants or expats are maybe overwhelmed by our ‘here have curry and noodles for breakfast meetings’ culture (which I miss very dearly)
-
@skinnylatte I’m a donut man myself but will enjoy a bagel with the right company

I tried to change my breakfast meeting food to donuts and samosas. There are more of us in team samosa than you think (probably everyone from SE, S Asia)
We feel very oppressed by donut culture
-
Now going for an empanada breakfast meeting, because the person I’m meeting feels similarly!!

@skinnylatte I used to get mine in a place in the Ferry Building. Gosh, they were so good…
-
@skinnylatte What I want are breakfast burrito employers.
-
@skinnylatte I miss having pâté chauds, bánh baos, and cheung fun for breakfast.
S.F. badly needs a proper Vietnamese bakery like Dakao in S.J...
Lee's Sandwiches doesn't cut it. -
@KraftTea I go to Chinatown for freshly steamed cheung fun. But you’re right SF Vietnamese doesn’t have the range of SJ (or SoCal)
-
@Enema_Cowboy I also had that for a breakfast meeting yesterday!

@quephird I go there ALL the time
-
@skinnylatte The magic of empanadas is that you can put just about anything in them that you want and both the curry people and the jelly donut people can be more or less happy given the appropriate empanadas.
-
@crzwdjk yes!
-
@[email protected] Cray used to bring in fresh fruit and bagels.
(mind you, they were Seattle bagels, but it's the spirit that matters) -
@aud @skinnylatte ooooof, Seattle bagels though. they make me so sad.
-
@skinnylatte I think you'll appreciate my favourite local, Fluffy Bake Shop, for their innovations like this Everything Bagel donut with cream cheese filling. It's a revelation, only slightly sweeter than the bagel, just puffier
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] yeaaaaaaaaah. Nothing like, uhhh... round bread.
They did have a jalapeno and cheese one, which, you know, the thing about a flavored 'bagel' is, if the bagel isn't good, the less % bread it is, the better it is. So that one was alright!
Then I'd snack on the fruit all week! Ah, I miss Cray.
