Hello! I love baking and often bring cakes or cookies to share with my coworkers. At my last job everyone liked it. But at my new job some women in my department are upset. They say I’m trying to impress the boss and make them gain weight.
I just enjoy taking a break and having tea with something sweet. And I don’t want to eat it alone, so I share with everyone.
Now I’m wondering is it really a bad thing to share baking with coworkers?

    Is there a way to send us some, in case there is surplus?

  • You have a new job and a new environment. You just found out that old traditions do not work here. You do not have to go through baking for people... that do not appreciate it. You can still eat your cookies and, if someone joins you, ask them to help themselves. more

  • Just do what you do and leave haters to their own misery. Go to HR and file a hostile environment complaint as whet you do is a positive team... inspiring act of chivalry. Make sure now it’s on record because unfortunate as it may be, haters gonna hate! Bravo to you! You get more smiles by your generous spirit which is what leaders do! more

  • Oh easy, whoever want give it to them, whoever doesn't, don't give it a damn walk away ....or just eat it yourself and send me some :)

  • That is a bit "Ass-kissey." Bake for those qho appreciate it. It might not even tast good to some. Keep business business!

  • Based on the information that you have provided: The negative reaction indicate insecurity issues with the complainers. Those folks do not have to eat... the goodies. They also could consider looking to impress supervisors with their own actions. separate from being concerned about your actions. Do what you have to do (within reason) to adjust to your new job environment. :) more

  • It's not bad but also plan to save your income as u share with others coz once you retire those friends won't remember the little u shared, saving for... your future begins the day you sign contract more

  • They’re all adults. If they can’t handle it that’s on them. Those people need to take responsibility for their own actions. It’s on them if they don’t... have willpower to not eat treats. Live by integrity and you’re fine. more

  • I think your major concern should be the motivation behind your actions which was according to your text "your desire to share and genuinely care for... others"
    Consider these thoughts:
    1. Never let another human being dim your light.
    2. If your motivation is self seeking and people pleasing then you are then your joy will be hinged on if people appreciate your efforts or not.
    3. If your motivation is to be kind to others then even if one person genuinely appreciates it, I truly believe the aim was achieved for that one person you can continue to serve humbly.
    4. Now for the people saying you are showing off or seeking attention pay them no mind if that's not your intention.
    5. It hurts to be misunderstood and I get it but people's chatter should never guide your decision making.
    6. You are sowing seeds of kindness today and if it's from a good place, you will reap the same and time is the true test of motives.
    7. Keep up the good job and finally remember that what should bother you is not what you do really but why you do it.

  • There's nothing wrong with that at the same time those who don't want them just let them be

  • Don’t worry about your co workers. They will warm up to you in no time. I believe you’re doing it out of kindness and that’s all that matters. I am... the same as you are. I bring snacks and goodies to my place of work and share w the team when I have enough to share. Who ever wants to join can join. If my boss likes it then heck w what anyone else says. Keep up your good spirits and like my mother always says. Kill em w kindness and they not have any reasons to stay mad. If they do then you know they were never worth your worries. They have their own underlying insecurities and unfortunately your the punching bag. This too shall pass. Good luck and share a cookie 🍪 please.  more

  • Life is a race and overtaking is allowed, if your cookies can help you rise in ranks so be it. If your boss loves the cookies please continue and... don't forget on your deliverables as an employee, secondly unless you have an AK47 pointed at your colleagues to eat the cookies, the choice is theirs to make. I pray I get a colleague who would carry cookies along to work more
