Mine never did in the 10 years I worked there, but last spring our office manager bought a case because everyone was sneezing all over the place, but he didn't replenish the supply.

My aunt said her company did, but they went out of business, so maybe you shouldn't order them! Chat Icon

Re: Random Question...does your office supply tissues?

none of my companies that i have worked for supplied them. they have supplied lysol to kill germs in one office. usually the person who brought in their own tissues were used by everyone.

In my old job, no.

Current job, yes but it's really for my customers not because of the employees.

Re: Random Question...does your office supply tissues?

I am so glad i posted this question, everyone is always sooo Helpful.

I wasnt going to purchase them, but i think when i go to BJ's on friday i will get a case, and see what happens, see how long they last and if people take them home etc.
Maybe I can get them just for the winter season.

I do feel bad for everyone who is not feeling well, and when one person gets sick, everyone gets sick. Its a small office about 14 people.

I have never seen an office buying tissues. Personally I need about 4 large boxes per Winter (or more if I have a cold). I would cost a company a fortune and I am not the only employee. Imagine if you have 100 employees. That's 400 boxes of tissues.

Let the employee supply their own tissue. TP is essential. The rest is not.

Every place I've worked has supplied tissues. It's the standard issue kind at Staples. No lotion or super softness added.

Yes, my office does! We have a supply closet we can go in and take them when we need them!



Same for us. I actually never even thought of us not having tissues available for employees - seeing others responses above I can see it really isn't necessary, but I think that it could potentially help prevent the spreading of germs, which is always a good thing in an office where having people sick can mean people being out, loss of productivity, etc.

Then again, it's probably very easy to have employees buy their OWN tissues instead of purchasing them - I've seen the invoices and it can add up (we have about 50 employees).

Re: Random Question...does your office supply tissues?

Where I currently work does but at my last office, they didn't. When I was a health care professional, tissues were always supplied. I don't see what the big deal is. If it's something that small to make your employees happy, then do it. I couldn't stand that my former employers would nickel and dime over b.s. like that...although we did have top notch white out!

Re: Random Question...does your office supply tissues?

My office does supply them, but I bring my own because the ones they supply are not soft. If I run out of the ones I brought I will take the ones the office supplies until I bring in my own box again.

Yes... they're Kleenex, but definitely not the soft kind... but it's better than nothing.

I work in a school and the tissues are really small and thin and I need to get a new box about once a week but yes, I suppose they do supply them!

ok first of all in todays economy we are all fortunate to have jobs. I think we can all manage to bring in our own (brand specific) tissues!

My office does supply tissues, however, that is their choice to do so...I never would expect them to supply them to us.
