Good morning. If your office place is one where you have to bring your own milk for your coffee then this isn't the story for you.
Our friends at The Aussie Corporate asked about various work perks last week and a follow up post about the office space at 26 Degrees caught our attention. The newly opened North Sydney office space for 26 Degrees includes the following:
