Recent posts on this sub reminds me of a funny/sad story back when I worked for a certain company. Our managers would buy a whole cake whenever a coworker is having a birthday without asking for their food preference, allergies or whatever. So one time we were celebrating 3 birthdays and the company bought 3 separate cakes for the whole workplace to share. Ironically, none of the birthday people were able to eat anything because one of them was doing keto, the other coworker was vegan and the last coworker (me) is allergic to nuts and all 3 cakes contained nuts. I think those cakes sat there for like 5 days untouched and only 3 people in the office ended up taking a slice. The managers were angry and called us ungrateful. Just another story of how management could have just asked us what we wanted and didn’t. I know it’s nice of them to even consider buying us a cake for our birthdays, but it’s just funny they didn’t ask our preferences. It was a swing and a miss 3x
