So this is an observation I’ve made about work potlucks and food at work in general. My general consensus is: never complain about free food given to you at work. Just recently at my job, someone was complaining about how we always get pizza during our meetings (monthly). Well, it was us 2-3 coworkers who were always pitching in for pizza, because no one else would pitch in for food. This person said, “Why do we always get pizza”, but never wanted to contribute financially to purchasing anything else. The reason we would order pizza is because anything else was too expensive with only 2-3 of us contributing. Management rarely ever provided food during our meetings so if we wanted food, we would have to buy it ourselves. Point is, don’t complain about free food as an adult if you aren’t willing to contribute! It’s a privilege and many workplaces don’t have it. Especially as this was a job with student workers.   submitted by   /u/honest_owl101 [link]   [comments]
