Thinkin ab a job I had when I was 18/19…They would have these extravagant potlucks & ask everyone to bring something. Well, this job didn’t pay well for the work & I was flat brokeeee. I was doing 3 different jobs & getting paid for one. I had my own apartment & could barley afford rent. My manager pulled me in once to tell me I had to start bringing something cuz it’s disrespectful to be the only one who doesn’t participate in the potluck. I was so embarrassed, I couldn’t even afford to make my own damn food. The only thing in my fridge was rotting milk! Lmao. & I didn’t ask for a damn potluck. I was lowkey surviving off the lunch my friend shared with me at work. I just often think back on that story and think…wow..what pieces of shit. I wish I would’ve defended myself, but instead I put my head down & brought paper plates the next time. Lmao. 🤷️
