When there is food for us workers, it's meant for us workers. When I worked for Ernst & Young, however, it was a different story. If you played your cards right, you could probably scavenge off lunch 2 or 3 days out of 5. If it was the Good Stuff(tm), ie. deli sandwiches, you could hear people running. I also have to admit when the boss sprung for bagels, I would take two. But, 1) I like bagels, and 2) for three years I brought in my own donuts for everybody (a dozen for 8 co-workers) about every other week. He stole that idea from me when he saw that I was stealing his thunder as team builder.Steve Buchheithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12999709767641212586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-7994840226611398072007-11-21T13:15:00.000-05:002007-11-21T13:15:00.000-05:00Steve, this really hits home with where I work. E...Steve, this really hits home with where I work. Except it's not managers who go to the meetings it's the people who actually work for the company. All of us contract workers get to fight over the food remaining.<BR/><BR/>As a contract worker (ie someone with no holidays, no benefits and small wages) I find this practice belittling. So I never eat their leftovers. <BR/><BR/>Some people I work for are food whores and have no shame. But I can't stoop that low. I can afford my own lunch even on my paltry wages.Ken McConnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164270132364529505noreply@blogger.com
