I work in fast food and just need to rant about this a bit.
My boos decided that next weekend we’re doing a potluck/meeting that all employees are required to attend. The actual ‘meeting’ part of it is only going to be from 8-9 but the potluck is set for 8-2. We’re only required to be at the meeting and the rest of it is optional but they’ve been hinting for us to stay the whole time and even put a list up of all the food people are bringing.
I told one of the managers that I don’t like eating food at potlucks because I don’t know what’s in them (which is true) and that I won’t be bringing anything but I’ll skip eating the food too to make it fair. They’re still giving me shit for this though.
Apparently I’m not being a “team player” because I don’t want to wake up at 8am on my day off, spend money on cooking a giant meal that won’t last me til my next paycheck, then stuff my face at 9am. Ugh.
Whoever invented the concept of potlucks is an asshole.
