Genuinely asking this on behalf of a friend who doesn't use MN - or even use computers much, come to that
She works in a place where 8 staff are in a lottery syndicate; they pay in a set amount once a month, except that one member constantly "forgets" and has only paid two or three times over the last 2 years
Of course you can guess where this is going: they've won a few tens of thousands and, predictably, the non payer expected a share, insisting he'd make up what he owed in return
The other 7 originally said "no way" but eventually voted 4/3 to give in because the atmosphere was becoming so poisonous - except it's still poisonous because the 3 who voted no are seething
It's all a bit late now since the non-payer's hardly going to return his portion, but anyway I said I'd ask the MN jury ... should they have shared with him or not?
