Is there one where you work and if so, how is it expressed and where are you on it?
I'm asking because I'm always making cups of bloody tea for people, just because it's polite and you might as well make 4 if you want one yourself... whereas, some of the people I indulge never ever ever make me one! Am I adopting the role of the 'tea girl' inadvertently?
Tea is important to me!
How does it work at 'yours'? Is it who takes out the rubbish? who collects the post? who sits at the top table?
LOL! I didn't realise making tea was so full of hidden meaning and power struggles!
We have an obvious pecking order, of boss then post doctoral worker then students. Among the students, I guess there was a sort of order in sense of the one who had been here longest was senior simply because she had more experience and knew where stuff was! She is gone now. Beyond that I don't really interact with people enough here to notice any hierarchy.
We occassionally have a biscuit or cake day where somebody will bring some in. My boss rarely does, but 2-3 times per year he takes us out and spends a couple of hundred quid on a meal for us all!
As for warm drinks, its usually the masseuse and me who bring each other one, as we sit eating and nattering!

There shouldn't be..... I think people should offer to make for everyone else as a matter of courtesy.
but I have to say..... if someone neglects to make me a cuppa, I notice. if someone offers me one, I remember and appreciate it. it's like basic hospitality.
nb.... see family joke about Winnie in Cornwall last year.... didn't make her mother TEA and will never live it down.
