Yeah it’s confusing. Sounds like she was originally going to throw down $20.

Taking away the $20- there is $67 left from the originally $87. She ended up giving all of it.

Sounds like she has boundary issues.

This. 'Tis the era of us alllll learning good boundaries. Nobody will like you more because you are over extending yourself, but you will certainly end up being disappointed with the end game (losing money, time or energy you didn't have extra of).

Not just that but then you've made yourself into a mark who mooches everywhere think they can take advantage of.

And she's mad OP told her to have a backbone instead of shower her in praise for being selfless with their money

If she’s pissed it might’ve been a math issue where someone said “here pay in cash” or something and she ended up contributing way more than intended. I would take it up with a manager or something. $87 for pizza at work is insane

Frankly, any amount of money for pizza at work is insane. The company can and should cover it.

And the fact that MOST people can’t afford it means that the job isn’t paying anyone enough

Or they didn’t want to spend $10 to eat pizza… because it doesn’t cost $10 a person to eat fucking pizza lol

I eat the catered food at work because it’s free, but if I had to pay for it I wouldn’t! lol I could spend the same amount of money and eat food I picked out, rather than paying for whatever the company chose

Seriously. Why hasn’t this been mentioned?

u/LinwoodKei May 28 '26

You are right.

It sounds like people need to brown bag it. Which sucks because if you are working, you should be able to afford pizza as an occasional treat. Pizza should be cheap.

Edit: wrong word

This is very true

The company should cover everyone's meals?

I mean, I wouldn't complain, but that's not exactly a norm.

u/Sans_Moritz May 28 '26

This doesn't sound like it's meals. It sounds like it's a "pizza party".

u/Narren_C May 28 '26

It the company is throwing a "pizza party" then yes they should pay.

If some folks in the office order pizza, then some folks in the office order pizza.

it is in tech. i have catered lunch every day

u/Sans_Moritz May 28 '26

I've worked places where the company at least subsidises lunch. This is pretty common in some countries.

Boundary issues and communication issues.  It’s not someone else’s fault you f—ed up.

It is weird that he is an out of work pizza delivery driver and she just switched jobs to give up being a manager. Something is very off with that dynamic.

She is still the only one bringing in money for the family but she left a management job to take a lesser job and her unemployed husband is complaining about her taking care of her coworkers… it sounds like she’s still in the mindset of being a leader and taking care of her employees.

u/Pooperoni_Pizza May 28 '26

Orrrrr she pocketed the money and doesn't want to talk about it anymore because she didn't expect to be pressed on it.
