Work ethics is a fortnightly feature in Guardian Work where a reader submits a workplace dilemma and asks for your help. A selection of the best answers will appear in Saturday's paper.
This week's question
Our office Christmas lunch is coming up and I'm dreading it – the consensus is to go to a place way beyond what I can afford. I don't want to raise the subject because it doesn't seem to be an issue for anyone else. But I know if I go, I'll just resent it, so maybe I should just make up an excuse. What do people think?
What are your thoughts?
