LE BUREAULOGUE - Every Friday, Le Figaro invites you to meet a “cliché” character who poisons or enlivens the corporate world.


It's a little drama: one fine morning, to find Gros-Jean as if in front of him when he discovered that the coffee capsules were missing in his desk drawer.

If luck smiles on you, a comrade will gladly help you out.

If you are alone at the office, all you have to do is mope ... or rush to the distributor immediately if there is one in your company and if the quality of its drink does not leave too much to be desired. .. Coffee is corporate fuel.

Take away his coffee and his open space is depopulated ...

They don't respect anything.

They know, however, that the aluminum capsule (in bio-based material, very trendy) is sacred!

Also the coffee addict does not take an eye off his precious strategic reserves!

Fortunately, there's nothing like coffee to stay alert.

Philippe Geluck, through his cat, summed it up: drinking coffee prevents sleep.

And conversely, sleeping prevents drinking coffee.

Although ... He is, it seems, very heavy caffeine addicts who get up at night to take their dose!
