The article discusses the dilemma surrounding a colleague who hosts potlucks and requests financial contributions to offset her food costs. While some colleagues support the idea of paying and bringing additional contributions, a majority resent being asked for money. Miss Manners advises against asking co-workers for financial contributions for personal dishes at work gatherings, emphasizing that the responsibility of covering costs should fall on the employer rather than employees. She suggests that workplace socialization shouldn’t come with a financial burden.
Miss Manners believes co-workers should not be asked to contribute financially towards personal food items at office parties; it's the employer's responsibility to cover costs.
Forced socialization in the workplace should not come at the expense of employees' personal finances, meaning employers should properly fund office gatherings.
