The president of the company asked me why I didn’t want to join in the company hamburger cookout at lunch. I politely said, “oh, thanks, but no. I have actually stopped eating meat.”
The truth is, everyone had to pay $5 to eat, but I feel like I would rather save my $5 for something with more value to me than a hamburger, like a gallon of gas for my car or a gallon of milk. The president is a millionaire and probably would not understand.
I am sitting at my desk in peace and quiet, reading r/antiwork instead.
