At my first job in 1997 our supervisor organized a potluck. Being a team mostly of high school kids we coordinated to put some amazing food together. When the day of the event came and the food was out, the supervisor advised us that he had lost a bet he made with another supervisor over team metrics so they got first dibs at our food. By the time we were allowed, there wasn’t much left.
Bonus plot twist: that same supervisor was later arrested for diddling kids. Good riddance.
