go in on

Share the expense

To go in on something is to contribute jointly with others, usually money: We all went in on a gift for the boss, Let's go in on a pizza.

It can also mean to criticize or attack someone harshly: She really went in on him for being late.

The shared element is combining forces—whether pooling resources or piling on criticism.
