An example of the most moral corporate executive. Involuntary biology experiments on unsuspecting subordinates seems like an upgrade from what they're doing normally through the psychological torment.
I adore coffee. But how would they know the caffeine levels of the coffee? That's just not available. It's either decaf or not.
Light roast tends to be more caffeinated than darker roasts.
Also, different bean times have different amounts of caffeine, but I haven't tested this personally.
You can tell this is fake because caffeine withdrawal does NOT just cause "lethargy" people would be going home with headaches and worse.
100% this. By the afternoon the first day it would be anarchy in that office. Headaches, crabby aggression, screaming, crying.
Plus, what entire office actually drinks all the same coffee from the same source?

Yah that what I find the most hard to believe, especially given the writer is sipping a monster energy drink.
Me who buys cheap packets at the nearest convenience store almost every morning.
"You have no control over me! I have my own Spice! My own desert! My Arrakis! My Dune!"

If it's coffee provided by the company for free, yes they are.
we have a free espresso machine and two free large cafetieres and a coffee shop where you pay on the ground floor. A lot of my colleagues still go to Starbucks across the street.
Some, but certainly not all. People have their preferred coffee, out go out for the sake of going out. Free isn't an absolute determiner of human behavior.
We have free coffee in our office. It's terrible. Only half the people drink it. Others buy their own.
Yeah, I'd consider the urge to commit homicide "worse" (and as a fresh convert, let me say, I'd NEVER get away with this comment on Reddit)

Well it would have to be real and not a “lawyer meme” as well
From the moment I understood the weakness of my biology, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of the boot. I aspired to the purity of Corporate Governance. Your kind cling to your caffeine, as though it will not crash and fail you. One day the crude occupation you call a “job” will be laid off, and you will beg the Government to save you. But I am already saved, for profits are immortal… Even in death I serve the Shareholders.
I hate how much sense this makes. Well, I guess the original is meant to be satire in real life so whatever

If this was remotely true the
Looked ashamed of his natural biology
Would 100% be the psycho misreading this:
I mean, this is the reverse of unknowingly drugging someone, not sure if this is illegal or not, but it feels illegal lol
Pretty sure it's illegal
Decaf still has a fair amount of caffeine. This is clearly fake.
Decaf has very* little caffeine.
Caffeine withdraw is no joke, that’s how you get a really bad migraine or worse.
Should I stop drinking caffeine? I have two in the morning(7am and 8 am) and then none for the rest of the day. Am I subjecting myself to daily caffeine withdrawal?
(I only take medical advice from random internet people btw, never LLMs or 3D doctors)
Yup, can very much confirm.
if it was true it's abuse~
Just like corporate governance.
I remember this "prank" scribed on some BBS or web page from the early 2000's, possibly even the 90's.
Everything old is new again!
a coffee lover knows difference
I never met them in the office. The coffee drinkers in my office are just drowning their coffee in milk and sugar.
This is awful, but God so hilarious ( besides the weird psychopathy ) but as a senior prank or something it would go hard
coffee does genuinely nothing to me except make me unable to sleep at night. dont get the people that are depending on it daily
The guys at work used to give me energy drinks, strong coffee and caffeine gels in the hope of making me buzz.
I don't know if I've got a natural tolerance, or maybe because I eat a lot of dark chocolate I've built up a resistance. Caffeine doesn't do anything to me.
Also apparently it's not good to down a whole mug of coffee in one go. They used to find it funny when I did that. I don't like coffee but I'll drink it if you give it to me.
Coffee doesn't even do that to me, nor does any caffine. Hell I can drink a monster energy right before bed
Well, many people aren't depressed, but some especially the working class and corporate workers know there is no point in their work and need stimulants to keep going and not kill themselves.
If you find fulfilling work outside of capitalist systems, you also need less stimulants.
Noob mistake!
A professional biological terrorist knows that you need to mix decaf beans and light roast beans (high in caffeine) into the bean reservoir at 50/50, resulting in randomly varying amounts of caffeine per brewing cycle/cup of coffee.
Never let their caffeine tolerance know the next move!
Had he pulled it through for two weeks, the withdrawal symptoms would've worn off.
Inducing withdrawal is the whole point!
It's weird to me simply because I bring my own brew. Office coffee just isn't as good as my moka pot and if you've got a zojirushi or similar high quality thermos, you can have hot coffee for a majority of the day.
The weird control kink aside, this does sound like a pretty funny office prank provided there's no really important work going on
People would notice within 6 hours. Source: had this happen to me, got a raging headache despite coffee, left office to go get some
