It’s kind of silly but there was a big controversy at google nearly decade ago when facilities stopped stocking bottled water in the fridges. I know... not as bad as “free tibet” cake tho...

This must be a "thing" at lots of companies. At mine there was a surprisingly heated thread about getting rid of bottled water, which culminated with the founder and CEO telling everyone to shut up and go back to work (albeit in a more respectful wording, and it had gotten to the point where such action was warranted). The thread essentially became legend.

It's a ex-Google (xoogler) inside joke from a certain period in time (circa 2009). Similarly with the Free Tibet Goji Berry cake.

Basically examples of decisions which the rank and file had a hard time with but were implemented anyway.
