Yeah this is about the infamous workplace potluck.  This year I have chosen to not participate in them, I have some valid reasons , namely I changed my dietary habits last year, and almost all of the potluck stuff is throughly not healthy .  So I typically bring my own food or I go eat at a place that's serving something that's close to what I would prepare for myself.

Should an employee eat the potluck just for the sake of participation??

No, if its not your diet dont do it.  Or show up with your own plate of whatever your diet is and be social at least. But either way you dont need to contribute unless you take.

This may blow your mind, so stick with me



Why don't you participate in the potluck by bringing healthy food you eat?

If you like your hepatitis, you can keep your hepatitis.

I was going to ask the same question?

I bring food ... I don't eat 95% of what people bring
I socialize for the sake of making the work place comfortable.
I enjoy my job and most the people I work with..

You should go and be sociable with your work mates.

Prepare enough of the food that you want to eat to bring to the lunch and share with others.

We ordered out pizza, salads and desserts this year.

We had a potluck today. I chose to not participate, but I did take the extra time off my work eith everyone and eat the lunch I brought. I'd rather not eat something from a coworkers kitchen.

Eta, I chose not to bring anything because I have a cold.

I have been lucky to have worked with a bunch of people that brought good food to potlucks.  I usually ate everything...but I'm a little fat.

Just bring food you would eat if you wouldn't mind socializing with your co-workers

I don't go to potlucks and bringing my lunch to one and eating to be sociable would make me uncomfortable. I'd rather not have to explain to anyone why I'm not partaking in the food that was brought.
