I love the reveal of "Babe, I'm a prepper" like a scared bisexual telling their girlfirend, "Baby... I'm bi. I'll always be committed to you. I'm a monogamist. But you have to accept me for who I am: a man who has to stockpile dicks in a room for no readily apparent reason."

Or a person could be for guns and have it not relate to their politics. Both of these scenarios are common.

Potluck is destroying the company. I'm in charge of fixing it. Help!quote:I work for a 38 person company, reporting directly to the owner. For the past 50 years, the company has hosted potluck dinners for Memorial Day and Thanksgiving. In the time I've worked there, the dinners have become a huge problem. Less and less people bring food or help with clean up. The people who DO participate have started to resent those who don't. By this past dinner, less than ten people brought food, there wasn't enough to go around and it seemed those who contributed were left hungry. Afterwards, there was a ton of angry interactions between employees so much that HR had to step in.

Buy a cardboard box and write “time machine” on the side. When he says it wont work, say “sp youre finally ready to think outside the box for the potluck?” and make your case for changes he dismissed.

Help! quote:For the life of me I can't figure out how to professionally word potluck basics: If you don't bring food you can't eat. Bring enough for everyone to eat. Don't eat a larger quantity of food than you bring. Don't plan on having doggie bags. Everyone should help clean up. "For those that are unfamiliar or may not have been to a potluck, no worries! The main thing is to bring some food if you want to eat some food, and if you don't cook it's ok to bring something store bought. Having people show up without food for others is a real issue in potlucks so that's the only thing to avoid. That's it, hope you have fun if you decide to attend" How is that hard? I feel this person put more effort into the reddit post complaining about sending 1 email about regarding minor stuff at work than it would have taken to just write a simple email. Like my last apartment complex had the apartment manager 'tactfully' emailing people to stop leaving dogshit on the sidewalk and to stop smoking weed at 4am and having fire alarms go off, she managed just fine lmao Ham Sandwiches fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Oct 7, 2017 |

If you want to eat, you need to bring a dish. How hard is that to say? Just set up a clipboard with a list of of general ideas (meat, salad, bread, dessert, etc) with spaces for specific dishes and the name of whoever's bringing it around a week before the potluck

They finally killed the potluck at one of my jobs after doing the signup sheet. Less than 15 out of 100 committed, and all but one person signed up for desert, drinks, or eating utensils. Any good business should know you need to cater to consumers changing taste.

The solution is strong management, a planned potluck economy, and commanding the workforce to produce X number of meatballs, X pounds of noodles, and forcing an employee to work the bar with the point of a bayonnet.

Potluck is so easy to do. I guess it helps if you were raised in a church culture where it was a weekly/monthly thing though. Hell, there was an expectation that the younger and poorer members might not be able to provide much (or it might be their only good meal of the week), so the social pressure on them to bring much, if anything, was throttled back a lot. It was still expected that you'd help clean up if you were "freeloading" because of course you were.

I just think putting the onus on people who are showing up to a place they resent and wouldn't go to if they didn't need money is a very poor premise for staging a successful party.

I dunno, I work in plant operations for a very large state facility with 40-50 other blue-collar schlubs, and we do potlucks all the time, there's always a massive amount of food. A bunch of the guys like to GRILL MEAT RARR and bring it in, a few dudes have wives that have time to make side dishes(but not many) and the rest of us buy pre-made items from Costco or the big grocery stores. If I'm feeling domestic I'll make a cake or cookies, it's pretty fast and I know that poo poo will get eaten. I don't know why this company can't get their poo poo together.

I've literally never seen a potluck that didn't have like 10x more food than people could eat, it's impressive that such a small company could have such a bad sense of community. The solution is obvious, potluck bouncers. Reject people at the venue doors if they come empty handed.

Ive never been to a work potluck where there was remotely enough food and where the air isnt palpably filled with everyones desire to spontaneously develop pyrokineses with which to kill your coworkers. We had a catered free fun day at one of my companies and they ended up canceling it when they went through the hour logs and found it was one of the single most requested day off, beating out several major holidays.

This concept is so weird to me because in my experience several people who cook will bring in big ol pyrex dishes of dips/casseroles/sides that could feed like 10+ people and the lazy people will just bring in store bought crates of cookies, potato/macaroni salad, and fried chicken. Because everyone brings more than they can individually eat most of the time there ends up being a ton of leftovers.

A friend of mine organised a pizza lunch at his workplace, where everyone contributed $5 and he ordered in a bunch of pizzas with the money. Except this one person who insisted it was stupid and didn't want to take part and couldn't afford it and didn't like pizza and whatever. Of course, as soon as the lunch was over and everyone went back to work, my friend caught this person red-handed trying to steal about half the leftovers

Nobody in my industry except the very tippy top who make their stay at home spouse or personal assitant do it or the very fresh out of school who think teambuilding exists will cook a meal for anyone else without direct compensation. Buy it predone? gently caress you, Im not shopping for you and taking time out of my life to come to this event in exchange of getting to eat whatever the cheapest store bought garbage youd thought Id want. Every company I work at now boosts employee morale with giftcards/extra time off.

Last time I had a work potluck I was assigned to bring soft drinks, though I don't drink soda, resented have to bring sugar water for a bunch of  coworkers, and was told emphatically that I couldn't trade off, so I went to Valu Market and bought several 2-liters of generic grapefruit soda in order to fulfill the requirements. Nobody touched it.

When I was in grade school in California, the History lessons actually included a fair bit about the Pacific Coast natives, which was cool. It was from there that I learned we get the word potluck from the practice of potlach.

Exactly. The only potluck I ever went to where people weren't completely zonked into a food coma afterward was a hippie-dippie potluck with a shitload of terrible organic/vegetarian food that was avoided scrupulously. Not that vegetarian food is all bad or anything, but much of the stuff was really unappealing.
