How Bout You Tampa Bay Most Say They Can Not Go 1 Day Without Coffee

Keith Connors September 20th

How bout you Tampa Bay? Most Say They Can Not Go 1 Day Without Coffee. I tried it once. Going without coffee. Not a fan. And I was only 10 then. How often do you drink coffee? 75% of coffee drinkers say they can’t go a day without coffee. Actually, what’s shocking is that it’s not a higher percentage than that. I usually go through only one or sometimes maybe two cups a morning, but there was a time when I would down an entire pot when doing morning radio. They called me “Zippy” LOL. This survey also found that the average coffee drinker has two cups a day and takes about 20 minutes to finish each cup. And this is interesting … 61% said when they drink coffee it is not as enjoyable to them if they’re stressed. So, at work? Here are the best and worst places to have coffee, according to the survey:

Best Place to Enjoy Coffee:

  1. At home — 33%
  2. While reading a book — 17%
  3. On a balcony/porch/patio — 17%
  4. While watching the news — 16%
  5. At a café — 16%

The Worst Places to Have Coffee:

  1. While commuting — 17%
  2. While doing laundry – -17%
  3. While exercising — 16%
  4. While cooking — 16%
  5. While on the phone — 16%

Keith Connors: I trust dogs and horses, love country music, and country fried chicken. Fought many men, and loved only 1 woman. She's from Nashville, so it's all about the accent. Life is short. Simple goal every day - Make somebody smile. Peace ; )

 

 

Signs Your Tampa Area Company May Be Setting Up For Some Layoffs.

Signs Your Tampa Area Company May Be Setting Up For Some Layoffs. Who can  keep up with all the crazy trends in employment – great resignations, quiet quitting, quiet firing, acting your wage. One thing that isn’t so trendy, but pretty scary is the growing number of companies laying off staff. In fact, its becoming so frequent that BuzzFeed found a TikTok user (Eve Pena) from the HR world who shared some telltale signs that a layoff is coming:

  • Disengaging

    Executive and senior leadership, along with managers, begin disengaging with the team. They may start asking questions about things they don’t usually inquire about

  • Scrapping Projects

    The company starts scrapping high dollar projects. Maybe they started a new build, and it stopped. Or, were going to moves some offices around. But not anymore? Any hiring planned, or office growth or renovations that did not happen?

  • Freezing Up

    Remember when you were talking about growth at work. Maybe even bringing on some more help. Now. Not so much. Hiring freeze is it?

  • Feedback Has Changed

    You start receiving feedback completely different from what you’ve ever received before. Maybe you were getting regular feedback, and it stopped. Or the opposite. If it’s changed, there’s usually a reason. And when things change at work the reason usually circles back around the the “same thing” at any job. Money.
