Who's idea was this to obtain their meals on the backs of the employees? Sounds like a proverbial "free lunch"! It is quite obvious that your branch needs a Manager to manage it properly!. I would inform someone (anonomously if necessary)at head office that things are out of control at your branch. Just like you said once or twice in a year should people be forking out for a pot luck, and not every week!. How can this silly idea sustain a good working atmosphere especially if it is financially draining on the employees? And who is profiting the most from this? There are other ways to create a positive team environment and this is NOT one of them! When you mentioned that someone has falsified records then this is a big indication to me that things are ALREADY out of control. Do try to get a Manager to put things under control! Phone head office and ask if this is the policy for branches to be doing pot lucks every week? Ask someone who can make a difference for you! Or write an anonymous letter of complaint if you have to and send it to the CEO! |

How much do you spend on your lunch everyday? $3-$5?
I guess if you bring in doughnuts or veggies with dip or something small worth that much, it should not be difficult.
No one will ever question the amount/ type of food you bring.View it as brining your lunch and sharing it with other people.
On the other hand if you say a "NO" it may look negative. So balance everything and have fun. Thats the whole point.
