I just witnessed the socialist mind state.
Several of us in the office decided to get together and have ice cream sundaes today. A bunch of us chipped in and brought all the fixings. This was not company sponsored or funded. Just a bunch of us trying desperately to build our own morale. I made my sundae and came back to my desk to enjoy. One of my coworkers asked me to go get her a brownie. She said she didn’t contribute and didn’t want to be seen going in there. I told her that when everyone who brought stuff got their share that I would go get her some. She said, no it will all be gone. I finally just told her no. She got mad and asked someone else, WHO WENT AND GOT IT FOR HER.
You know. It’s not so much the sharing when everyone didn’t participate. It’s more the gaul off asking me to go get it for her. Like I’m a waitress. That pissed me off more than the other part.
