Poll: How do you feel about the peer pressure pot luck at work thing?

I think compassion is warranted.

I think they should be abolished as they make people resentful and guilty respectively.

He should be encouraged to work a little overtime so he can chip in.

Pot lucks should be reduced to a minimum. You come to work, not to cook for each other.

If all he can contribute is a bag of chips, accept his contribution in good faith.

Another answer which I will expand upon in comments.
