Imagine being the go-to person for picking up lunch for your coworkers, only to have it all come crashing down because of a power-hungry vice president. That’s exactly what happened to one employee who started a lunch club in their office. They had a few simple rules, including not supporting two specific restaurants due to moral principles. But when the VP and a coworker demanded they go to one of those forbidden restaurants, things took a dramatic turn.
