Social pancea at work

Post Reply New Topic

I have discovered a way to get co-workers to think the best of you, and to forget their perceived slights from you: bring food for everyone. Bring a snack food, or a desert, or breakfast for everyone and put it in the break room (or where ever) and then tell everyone that they are welcome to it.

I have done this with great success with homemade popcorn, tiramisu, cake, box of crackers and hummus, and fruit salad, and jello with fruit in it, and banana bread, and another co-worker has succeeded with this by bringing a box of small breakfast taco/burrito things on Fridays.

Suddenly the 2 people who were not speaking well of me and were mad because I got moved to a different position because I do that better instead of what I was doing thanks to AS like me. And my boss does not get mad at me as often when she is having a bad day and biting at everyone, and the grumpy guy who brings burritos does not get mad when I confuse 2 products that were no labeled.

Yeah! Bring food to work. Especially if it is slightly but not totally unhealthy unless it is fruit. But no one cares when someone brings vegetables.

You're right! I have helped to make my husband more popular at his job on Monday mornings by sending homemade cookies each week. It works!
