The Risks of Office Potlucks
Office potlucks can pose significant health risks, especially when employees bring homemade dishes. The speaker expresses their reluctance to participate in such events due to concerns about food safety, influenced by their spouse's background as an executive chef. An incident is recounted where several employees fell ill after consuming a particular salsa, leading to complaints about its spiciness. Following this, the decision was made to cease office potlucks entirely, a choice that was ultimately reinforced by the restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
